My first thought was to create something like cbwiki.theprogrammingsite.com, but then I'd have to administer it.

*nods* I was looking at the SourceForge hosting options and they don't seem too bad.

I don't think I want to put my Wiki under the cboard name, however, as it's really a separate project. It would likely go under a more unaligned name .

Because, really, I'm sure there are hundreds of site-sponsored Wikis, but I really feel like that would hinder growth. Making the site more generic and open to any form of tutorial (not just related to the C family) makes the site open to anyone, and in doing so allows for far more unique tutorials to be written on a variety of programming topics. E.g. I wouldn't feel like a tutorial on using php to poll a Perforce server for recent changes on a cboard-style wiki.

But on that note, if this Wiki solely intends to be a FAQ-style wiki for cboard then it wouldn't make sense for it to be generic, by mere definition alone. *shrugs and wanders about, mostly in circles*

Damn it that's a good point

It's too late now, it's just been approved.

I can submit a request to have the UNIX name changed, however it's manual and it'd only be worth it if the mods thought it was a bad idea. (There is already a project on sf.net called cboard btw).

If you have an sf.net account, tell me your UNIX name so I can add you to the project. I don't like the idea of me being in control I also don't have as much 'web experience' as a lot of people on here -- so if someone wants to set up the PHP or whatever wiki thingy go for it After all this is democracy.
