[mh] Let's talk about the wiki

Hi,

I'd like to share my taught about the new wiki, to see if I'm the only one
having some frustration using it. First, I'd like to thanks Matthews about
this initiative to bring back the misterhouse wiki.

Over the last 3 days, I try to put Jocelyn document, about the DSC5401 
module,
online in the new wiki, but that's a PITA. I understand clearly the 
rationale
behind the choice, and I agree with it (free, user control etc.). This is
good, but I believe it's the only good things about wikispace. When come
time to write nice web page, or long document with images, tables, there is
no flexibility. I agree the  GUI editor is nice, but lack of wiki feature,
even when using the manual editor.

- no center possible
- very basic table structure
- no embedded html
etc.

I try to look myself at other alternative, I haven't found free site 
with the
same user control. I went back to old email, to see what was discuss about
the Wiki, and there was talk about pbwiki. I did try the site, and yes, 
there
is a lack of user management but there is way much more flexibility in 
editing.

better table handling with pure html code

box around text
etc.

If we would like to have user management, we have to subscribe. I believe we
should investigate this route. The annual fee would be 50.00. I personnaly
believe that if we find 10 persons paying 5.00 we could have a wiki 
online for
the next year. Sourceforge allow members to receive donation, this might be
an easy way via PayPal, to collect money to a single person (Matthew/Bruce),
and have him subscribing to the site. If we are not please after 1 year,
the site provide a backup procedure, so we could get an archive of what was
done, and move to a other site. Oh, and by the way, when we contribute for
this silver service, you get ad-free wiki. :)

I don't have any problem contributing $20.00 for the coming year, 
Misterhouse
being free, I believe it's nothing for all the pleasure I get using 
Misterhouse
the whole year.

Anyway, this is just comments, and I'm looking forward to see if I'm the
only one being frustrated and if so, I will not go further in this debate.

Comments are welcome, and also other constructive idea to get a better
misterhouse.

Thanks
