All this fuss is idiotic. A knowledge base and a wiki are COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT THINGS. There was already a recent discussion about whether
classiccmp should have a wiki, and the concensus was "not at this time" as
Jay already noted. Further discussion is always welcome in an environment
like cctalk, but geez, people should read up on the recent history before
spouting about the same old things without adding anything new.
Meanwhile lots of people are complaining that the existing KB is lame and
sparse. Those people should sign off from their email and go add
something constructive to the KB instead of critizing what Jay and others
have already done for it. It's the fault of users, not the underlying
technology, if nobody adds to the database -- no amount of CMS or wiki or
anything else will help with that.
