I just saw the announce on http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/
"We are looking for front-end developers, web-designers and
wiki-administrators to join in."
What kind of help do you need?
I mean, different from editing wiki content.
I could help with little graphics or web-design.
You could find me on freenode as 'carloratm'
Btw, i've just done these sites:
http://gnufunk.org
http://radio.gnufunk.org

What about adding a more modern Wiki/CMS platform -- http://xwiki.org
-- allowing WYSIWYG editing in your browser:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/WysiwygEditor .
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:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication
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 ).

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.
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.

Hi Carlo,
Sorry late reply - I'm on holiday. Yes, the call is still actual.
We're looking for both: regular content maintainers, as well as help
with styling the site.
As for style: there best contender so far is the "experimental" Theme;
switch it at http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/user/rgareus
Alas it's unfinished and partly invalid CSS/JS to be cleaned up :/
If you have a good idea: Please make a mockup or outline it. The wiki is
a dokuwiki.org.
Please stay tuned. I'll be back online regularly around end of August.
Cheers!
