I do think this would be a great idea at the first baby steps of Sponge! It will ensure a strong community, and will continue to do so throughout it’s rising. It would also offer a place for new comers to learn how to use it, or just to chat to some of the more experienced people in this topic. A Very Great Idea!

I’m trying, I’m trying. Been poking people to do this. It’s like poking a brick wall with a limp noodle.

Maybe a non-limp noodle?

I’m not on the sysadmin team. The fewer people who have box access, the better from a security standpoint. It’s not a good idea to just hand out access to people. And it’s not a question of reviewing the people who do have access and making someone do it, it’s a question of getting the people who have an understanding of the system to find a place for the wiki. So far as I know, SK hasn’t been involved with many sysadmin tasks. @lukegb and @armed_troop have been doing most of it. Either it should fall to one of them to set up a wiki or they should outsource the work to someone else on the team.
I understand the sentiment to want to bug SK for everything since he’s a well known name and he’s in charge of the project. But it’s too much work on one shoulder 
. That’s why we set up separate teams to handle these different types of tasks. Make sure you get to the right people. I think there should be public docs about the staff? If not, I’ll see what I can do about it. We are planning on having a “who everyone is” section of the website when @Antariano finally finishes it.

Much poking was done today in the staff channel. The sysadmins all know and everyone seems to be on the same page about Mediawiki. Some people don’t want to use it because of its bulkiness, but it’s generally agreed that it’s the best choice despite its bad features. So it might be moving along now

I don’t want to drop this on a front page, because it’s just not ready yet. But the wiki is not deployed, working, and ready for content. We need wiki contributors to add content and curate. These will need to be regular and dedicated people. I’m making this post here because people in this thread are most invested in a wiki or know people who would be interested in working with one. Please get ahold of me if you would like to dedicate time to the wiki or know anyone else who would. Thanks.
I don’t have a lot of time to contribute (I can contribute, I just don’t have the whole day 
) nor do I have the knowledge to add relevant information (if this wiki is to be based mainly on plugin coding and/or anything related).
What I can help with is translating (this is, if translations are an objective). I am Portuguese, so I can translate to Portuguese easily. I believe there are more people interested in translating so we’ll be able able to see several languages soon.
Should there be other non coding-related topics in the Wiki, I’d be glad to help and contribute!

When we get closer to that point, I’ll make a post about looking for translators. Thanks!

@DarkArcana I don’t know if it is a bug or not. But the Wiki accepts incoming request. Only you can’t post or anything yet. Looks good I have to say 
. For those who would like to take a watch, here is your hint:
replace forums with wiki, gg.
I definitely would help with the wiki. Only ma spell is a bit worse … .

Well you don’t need be a rocket scientist to figure out where the wiki would (and will) be xD. Anyone that knows internet could have find it
Bit premature, but I’ve went ahead and added wiki.spmc.co and w.spmc.co to my spmc.co forwards
Looking forward to this being ready!
I know, I was laughing like santa when I wrote this 
.
What you really looked like while writing it:
Now back to the topic, I’m stoked to see the wiki, and what it will become!
