Wiki pages are used by engineering, mainly to describe features and projects. I really want the hooks to have a consumable look to them, just like https://extensions.gnome.org/ or http://gallery.zimbra.com/ or marketplace.redhat.com
This will have to be built, and will take a lot of effort, so I don't expect too many changes there, once it's up and running, and the entry barrier is negligible, compared to the amount of work I'll be putting in there anyway.
So if Wiki is the only choice, we'll have to use wiki, but if it's possible to do this in a nicer, more mature-looking way, I'd rather go there
It's not that the wiki is the only choice, I just didn't see an explanation in the discussion as to why it won't suffice. I reckon I see your point now. My only concern is if you can get the design resources to make the look&feel. However, using WordPress at least gets you the same look&feel as the rest of the site (including when it is updated.)
Just to make it clear: the idea of VDSM hooks is that they're downloadable pieces of software (if I understand correctly, they're usually shell or Python scripts), so in my mind a wiki isn't really appropriate - you want users to be able to upload new hooks, order search results based on ratings and/or download statistics for hooks, and features like tagging, ratings, comments on a hook and versioning are appropriate and useful.
