I don't see a big advantage in terms of usability between the MWiki we
already have and any other CMS.
Well, why Extensions or Templates website don't use MWiki in this case?
It is a different use case (even leaving historical reasons aside). For
example, tutorials are something that people could cooperate in writing
and that may get updated often, and this is best done on a wiki (or
forum; at least this is my understanding of it), while extensions for
example are closer to software releases.
You must think to end-users that have write a tutorial.
I'm trying to, but, again, do you have a few examples? Maybe tutorials
that you wrote yourself and that would be difficult to upload to one of
the existing resources?
A Wiki need to have specific skill to publish.
You are right if you mean that on MWiki it is unnecessarily long and
complex, for example, to upload attachments. Actually, it seems that the
Forum currently offers good possibilities for those who want to publish
tutorials: pages like
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=67
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426
are done quite easily on the Forum, are very visible from search engines
and can be updated as often as needed. And if someone wants to attach a
PDF version this can be done easily.
What would the biggest advantage be for you? Ease of use (for users who
wrote a tutorial and want to publish it) or visibility (like having a
dedicated tutorials.openoffice.org website where we consolidate all
tutorials)? And how many tutorials could it be reasonable to have? Could
we reach hundreds of tutorials, for example?

Andrea.
