Hi,
I don't think there's a problem with RMS (or I don't know about it).
I think the problem is technical, i.e. providing instanciatable wikis
hosting, long term.
Which means choosing a wiki, make it instanciable if not already,
hooks its authenticated and permissions with Savannah's, prevent spam,
keep up with software as well as data updates, etc.
We could also quickly bundle a wiki app from scratch in Savane, at the
risk of a limited experience, which is apparently what Indefero, Trac
and gcode do at the moment. This is reinventing the wheel but this
simplifies the integration. I think SF is using a 3rd-party wiki
software too.
There's also the case of Berlios that setup a single site-wide
mediawiki for simplicity.
So there are several solutions, a few of them require coding, all of
them require long-term maintenance, and all of them require finding
something against spam.
I'm personaly not focused on this at the moment but it could be done
by somebody else.
