Hard to argue this one with examples while the wiki is down.

But if you compare the sections in wiki and what was there in
www.crosswire.org/sword on module making, on OSIS examples, on the conf
file, on module beta testing, on a whole range of things - the wiki is
for a long while now a more complete source of info than the site ever was.

Thanks. The intended new pages are up and not up. I showed something off
at www/crosswire.org/sword/newpage, but I am taking things apart there
and try and experiment to reflect the multitude of stuff being said here
on the list. So what you see now is representative of not a lot.

Maybe the relevant pages worth looking at right now are
www.crosswire.org/newpage/library.jsp which has an updated module
chooser and also www.crosswire.org/newpage/biblecs.jsp where I
concentrated all info on BibleCS. As long as you are willing to ignore
dangling links.

Other pages are at the moment only partially linked as I play around
with a sane structure for the top menu.

But you can believe me that there is only 4-5 pages worth of info on
libsword and SWORD project on the server which is not replicated better
and (much) more complete on the wiki.

There is always the option of getting stuff which has become static out
of the wiki and back into the site (as I have done with the FAQ) but the
problem with this is that it easily becomes a maintenance nightmare.
