Hi all, I think 1 thing we definitely need is a decent Wiki. There are many questions that are being asked again and again and it would be helpful if we had our own Wiki which newbies could consult and everyone can contribute to.
I must congratulate Abhijit in this regard since he has taken the initiative and pains to setup a (unofficial) Wiki. However I think the Wiki should use a more standard and feature-rich Wiki software such as MediaWiki or MoinMoin. I could not recognise what the Wiki was... either from the look-n-feel or from the innards (is it a homebrewn solution?) Is there any particular reason why this Wiki engine was chosen over the others? I also believe that having a Wiki/FAQ that just replicates what is given elsewhere on the Net would not serve much purpose. After all if somebody had the presence of mind to look up the Plug Wiki why would s/he not look up the innumerable others on the Net? Thus the Plug Wiki should be more India-centric, pune-centric... you get the point. Wiki entries about general topics such as Winmodems should be very brief with just pointers to other resources on the Net whereas questions more relevant to us (for e.g. configuring Reliance broadband connections or localized distros etc.) should be detailed. Thanks. Have a nice day. Luv, Varun Blog: www.ThoughtfulChaos.com P.S. Abhijit had asked that the feedback to the Wiki be given offlist but I think this is something that everybody could chip in with their 2 cents...
