[Openvas-discuss] OpenVAS Documentation Project

[Geoff Galitz]

Is it considered proprietary?  The source is available,  though you need to 
be a customer.

It sounds like people do want MediaWiki, but my experiences with it as 
something that can produce a compendium like we what we already offer are 
poor.  Looking for other wikis with full PDF generation has turned up very 
little that actually works well and without a lot of time spent on it. 
Though... I guess we can drop the compendium as a PDF.  Maybe that is not 
really necessary.

If people feel strongly enough about it, we'll switch to MediaWiki.  I 
hardly want to force a solution on people they do not like.

Do we have volunteers that would be willing to get MediaWiki fully working 
and creating a compendium like article/book?  And applying updates as 
needed?
