Hi,

when I just thought about the great ideas Stefan posted on https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=1123 an idea came up: what about adding a real Wiki to this great site? You could use the Wikipedia Wiki code for free (please don't consider using an inferior wiki) and setup a wiki with an address like https://www.donationcoder.com/wiki/

This could replace the help in the programs or just be an add-on for that.

Benefits:

* users can add hints/screenshots/help
* users can help to maintain it
* it's a better way to store up-to-date info than a forum (note: not to discuss in it, just to store the outcome)
This is just an idea... kill it or make more out of it

mouser:
definitely an interesting idea.. i know a little about wikis but not as much as i should - let me read up a little more and try to think how we might use it.  as you say it's probably best suited for storing the latest up-to-date information of some sort.. using it to replace the file file is a very interesting idea in general..

clif_notes:
I really like my wiki. Here's more info on what types are availble for use. Many are freeware or open source.

Wikipedia has a comparison of wiki software.
