Linux.ie as a Wiki (was Re: [ILUG] AGM Annoucement)

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Justin raises a good question, that's been discussed before. Should we 
turn the www.linux.ie website into a Wiki?

I'm in favour of it, I said as much here: 
http://blogs.linux.ie/xeer/2004/09/30/linuxie-a-wiki/

Why use a wiki?
Read Justin's post below, he's got some great ideas.

It's not for everyone, but it could be. If you've contributed to the 
site before, then let's hear about your experiences keeping your 
articles updated. (D'you think this article 
http://www.linux.ie/articles/industry/tradesignals.php is up to date?) 
If you haven't contributed in any way before, it gets a whole lot easier 
now!
