Putting community into the clc-wiki

[Laird]

Hello,

The clc wiki (at <http://clc-wiki.net>) has been pretty inactive for
years now. It was started as a community project - would anyone like to
put some community back into it?

and administering it over the years but if it would help this project in
any way, I will gladly give up that role, and any other association with
the wiki, including the domain which currently is registered in my name
- whatever it takes to get the clc community and especially the regulars
involved in the wiki. Also, FYI: Mark "Flash" Gordon hosts the wiki - I
haven't consulted him about this post)

I doubt we've really got the numbers to sustain a Wiki. Flash Gordon hasn't
posed here for a long while.
There's also a question about what it should contain. There's already a FAQ,
maintained by Steve Summit (also no longer active). He publishes it as a book
in hard copy. There's are plenty of C primers in the net, and the newsgroup
doesn't have any control over the C standard itself, which is ISO/ANSI.

Thank you for your response, Malcolm. Judging by your response, and by
the lack of response from others, there doesn't seem to be much interest
in the wiki. I would then suggest that it be shut down, except that the
K&R2 solutions section of the site, seeded from Richard Heathfield's
static site, is quite popular, and, in my view, worthwhile continuing -
plus a few other pages (e.g. <http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/intro_to_clc> and
<http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/c_standard>, which might be out of date by
now) get a fair few hits and have been linked to from elsewhere, and it
would seem to be a shame to lose them. Perhaps the wiki should be
disassociated from clc, and continue as minimally as possible under a
new, distinct, name? What do you think?
