I wonder if the projects page shouldn't also be part of a wiki, so it
can be readily updated by the various individuals involved in the
projects. I've been thinking that maybe the best solution is tighter
integration between the top level octave pages and the wiki, where a few
top-level web pages are static html, but some of the links go to pages
on the wiki, which a similar look and feel. For example, the official
web site for the Fedora linux distribution, fedoraproject.org is
entirely maintained as a wiki. Users are required to sign on with a
username and password to edit it. This would require some coordination
and some changes in how the wiki is currently managed, but in the long
run, this would hopefully make it possible to make the information more
up to date.
Tighter integration sounds good to me. To me, almost any way to lower the
barriers to participation are better.
