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.
