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.
Cheers,
Dave.
