wiki for tips & tricks and community documentation

Posted at August 16, 2005 12:15 PM in BitWise .

What does anyone think of a wiki for community-based tips & tricks and documentation? For example, it would be great if users could collaborate to create router how-tos for port forwarding, or could create tips like setting up Linux firewalls. The forums really are not the best architecture for these types of things, whereas a wiki allows presenting a document and allowing the community to change it, rather than just have a continuing discussion.

It looks like MediaWiki may be a good choice, and it was easy to install. Does anyone have any experience with MediaWiki and/or want to help customize it for use with BitWise? Or, if you have some ideas about how to best utilize the wiki to help both new and experienced BitWise users, we'd love to hear them!

Please discuss this in this forum thread. Thanks!
