> What does techbase give that was not possible there?
MediaWiki.
And no, wiki.kde.org will not change from TikiWiki as the admin likes that better. In fact he develops it. |

Tikiwiki is the only reason I stay away from wiki.kde.org as much as I can. It's really a shame that one of the most popular open source project has a wiki that is, to be kind, a mess.
Why can't we have a decent one just because a self-proclaimed admin don't allow to explore other options? How about a poll here on the dot? [/rant]

Oh dear god do I ever agree with you. I can't count how many times I've double clicked on a word in that wiki to select it and that stupid thing thinks I want to edit the page, and then warns me with a popup that the page is being edited by anonymous. Probably some other poor sod that accidentally clicked the page.

So true! I couldn't understand what happened the first time I did that.

You can disable that: Preferences » Use double-click to edit pages.

+1. Not only I hate it as a user, but when I tried to install it as an admin, I got scared how messy it is. MediaWiki is a lot more comfortable, and better of all, has a decent design.

well, it's not THAT bad, but I prefer mediawiki as well, and twiki (twiki.org) is very good as well - maybe even better than mediawiki.

Same for me.
See also http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=418&forumId=2 .
I've yet to respond on that one...

Hey, it's only the user wiki, developers have a cool one... but yeah.

1. Are you offering your services as a committed admin of a MediaWikified wiki.kde.org? If no, you argument doesn't hold.
2. He says migrating the user database and complete history to MediaWiki is entirely too timeconsuming and that he'd rather improve our TikiWiki installation than go through the producedure. He's open to suggestions in channel #kde-wiki but he doesn't seem to have much time.
> How about a poll here on the dot?
Again, a poll is useless as there's no one to admin a KDE user MediaWiki.

starting one should be easy: http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia
if it grows I am sure we will find someone who will host it in the kde domain.
