For better or worse, the Postgres Wiki is now up and running:

http://wiki.postgresql.org

It's running Postgres on the backend, but was originally designed
to run Mysql, so let me know if you notice any problems.

Great! I pushed RPM Installation article there. I'll report you if I
experience problems.

I believe that wiki will help us a lot for writing docs.

Just took a quick look at this one. Ignore for a moment the fact that I
don't like Wikis in general - I'm definitly not going to argue not to
have one for developers :-) Let's leave that part behind..

However, what's the rationale for putting this up on svr1? I would
consider that one our most critical server, considering it runs the cvs
repository. I would rather see the number of services on such an
important machine *decrease* than increase. If you need "internal
examples", we've already seen with the old svr2/wwwmaster box how messy
things can get with  a large mix of services -and how easy it is to end
up with things with security issues in there.

I think Marc was just the one willing to do the work to get something
up and going, and that's how it ended up there. That being said, the
company I work for would be more than willing to host this as well (we already
run other MediaWiki instances) if we want to move it off of there.

Because it was supposed to be on the root of the developer.postgresql.org vhost as a strictly developer only resource.

Perhaps the URL could be beautified a little bit.  Currently,

http://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php/Main_Page

Looking at Wikipedia and taking into account Dave's comment, it might 
better be

http://developer.postgresql.org/wiki/Main_Page

A little web server reconfiguration can probably do that.

This was discussed when we first discussed setting up a wiki ... since it 
was meant to be a 'developers' wiki, not general users, it was felt that 
it was appropriate to stay with the developers vServer ...

Please remove these items, The whole point of this wiki was to be used a
whiteboard for *developers* to hash out plans for development work and code.

It was definitely *not* supposed to be for end user documentation, which
should be on the techdocs area of the main site.

This also means of course that write access to the wiki should be controlled
and restricted to developers. Who will be doing that?

Regards, Dave.

The whole point of this one was to act as a developers resource and
specifically not as a user resource. If you have a better idea to stop it
being used by users then I'm all ears, but I don't see how the original
designers of the Wiki concept should determine how we see fit to use one for
our purposes.

Regards, Dave.
