Having experienced it myself, I tend to agree with the general point that getting started with Emacs is not helped by the online resources available.
However, I don't think it is constructive to wish that EmacsWiki would die in order for something better to come up. We are all free to start another wiki, built on any cms we prefer, and if MediaWiki is your choice, go for it. Assemble your moderators, make it better than anything EmacsWiki has provided to date, and you'll be the darling of the Emacs community. That would be constructive. :)
- skeptical 15y agoI'm surprised that this is not the obvious reply. The author puts it a bit as if setting up a working documentation website is the difficult part. Building up good content is the real value here, not how is managed. He suggests that emacs related projects should move to github. Heck, he's free to to keep is own repository of branches there if the license allows it, which in almost every case does. Who's stopping him from starting an emacs related wiki on github, if he so likes it (not being sarcastic)?
