Thanks for all your comments, there was some valuable input and things worth considering:
* i like the idea to give start of sale and EOL dates * Integrating more information directly into the build system also sounds like a good idea, though i'm not really sure how that would be done on a per model basis. And then the question is how much information would we want to add there and if devs also think some model specific info should go directly in the repository. Might need some more thinking about it. But i still think the best way would be to have a database like the prototype i made which can be easily filled by (registered) contributors. That way we can ensure things are named consistently which is needed for good searchability. Then on the other side the most important thing is the api which can output results in json format. It wouldn't be too hard to populate some fields in the wiki which are stored in the database from ajax calls. The bad site about this is of course that it would require javascript (problems for some user groups and especially search engines). So one might think about dynamically creating static pages from the database once a day or so. So in short: Have some fields in the wiki that are populated from the db and at the same time keep it a wiki, so it is still possible to add a lot more info for each model. web2py (which i used for my prototype) could even provide a wiki - but its probably not as good/feature rich as the DokuWiki which is used now. But thats just my very own idea. Generally i would be happy with any solution that makes TOH better searchable and machine readable. Regards, Manuel
