Does anyone ese thing we should grab a .co.uk domain (i’ll pay the £5
for 2 years) and set up a hackspace wiki?
We could set it up either just for stockport, or a north west
hackspace wiki with sections for the different spaces.
It would be a good place to document projects and details on the
spaces themselves.
Hi,
Why not just build it off http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces ?

The benefit to a formal wiki is debatable for the group. You can use the
Pages function on the Google Group for a similar function, but mostly, no
one pays any attention to the wiki bar the spammers, sadly.
What sort of content did you have in mind?

Somewhere to document projects in one place is an advantage. Of course,
there’s no need to set it up yet if we don’t need it.

No, really, no, no. The pages function is just a little bit shit.

It depends what you do with it. If you just put an about page on it and
some other random crap that no one is interested in then of course no
one will pay attention to it.
It also depends on the wiki software what spam protection is available.
Mediawiki is good for spam protection partly because it’s the most
popular and it is needed. Doing something really simple like locking
the front page and any pre-installed pages is also a good way to reduce
spam.
I’m generally against compulsory logins for wikis, but I don’t mind too
much, but would prefer OpenID support.

Hi,
For what its worth we use Twiki as a very useful resource for software
developers to document setting up pretty bespoke systems, mainly for
sysadmins. I’m a sysadmin and have only used it as a consumer and not
had to set one up, but I’m sure its pretty simple.
HTH,
