Aktuelle Version vom 1. Juni 2010, 18:37 Uhr

To gauge the interest in changing the wiki software we currently use I'd appreciate if you participate in the followin survey. Please feel free to add or edit our options. Also, I'd like to compile a list of advantages and drawbacks for each option, so feel free to add that to, just keep each point short enough for the whole thing to stay readable. Discussion should be held on the mailinglist, the discussion page for this article or on the next Jour Fixe.
