while it's not very beautiful i am satisfied with the wiki. we are already 
pretty much spread over several platforms namely website, wiki, mailing list 
and not to name the forums and trackers on sf.net.
a new cms would only contribute to this scattering. the wiki is already 
outdated in some areas and i'd rather see it updated than to start a fresh with 
a new cms.

btw. don't expect to much from sf.net wordpress. last time i checked you were 
not even able to change the theme. what are your reasons to fancy wordpress? 
i'd see a possibility to convert the website over to wordpress, adopting the 
style and such. but therefor we'd have to install ourselves a wordpress. i 
could lend some webspace for that, as i think th sf.net webspace would not 
suffice, but i could be wrong.

so as a website replacement i think it is a good idea.

is there a possibility to share paypal accounts, so several people would have 
access and could control each other? generally i am in favor, we should at ave 
the possibility for people to donate. if nobody donates, then at least it's not 
because there is no possibility.

maybe we should setup a "hello there, please tell us what you think of 
openjump" in oj that pops up after the first start or first 30 days. we could 
route users from there to a page where they could input a message or even hints 
what could be better. currently we have no f*** clue who is using us, except 
that we are used, i guess ;)
