What about adding a more modern Wiki/CMS platform --

Also, useful for public collaborative documentation, the new
annotations feature:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/AnnotationsApplication
. Xwiki has extensive import/export features. Aside from the usual
export as pdf/html/print etc, you can also use Xwiki to run openoffice
(in server mode) to import documents written in word/OOo/etc/ and
easily convert them to wiki documents:

Nice, but what would be the use-cases for those features on
linuxaudio.org? Basically we recommend flossmanuals.net for
collaborative documentation.
It'd also be a bit of work to [write a script to] convert the ~4000
existing wiki pages (mostly apps) to the xwiki; and write a custom app
(or plugin) to visualize tags/categories like eg.
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/jack
Besides that, I'm somewhat averse to installing JAVA on the LAO server.
It's quite a bit more than a wiki app, you can
write applications with
it as well. Here's some of mine:

(an earlier version:
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Timeline/NprTimeline &&
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Timeline/KcrwTimeline before I
switched to http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/ e.g.
http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Exhibit/Presidents4 ).
Cool. However, I don't see the benefit of a Timeline for the
wiki.linuxaudio.org site. I think we'd rather want some more music
related features like f.i. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abc :) but
maybe that's just me.
best,
