After speaking with Jeff Waugh on IRC tonight, he mentioned an idea I
too had been considering this week. The idea was to use some kind of
Wiki for the gtk.org site and use aliases to link to documentation.

At Imendio, we use Drupal [1] for http://developer.imendio.com/ and it
works out quite nicely. It is very easy to create/update content, set up
aliases and to make announcements. I would like to see this used for the
gtk.org site if it fits our needs.

Jeff volunteered to help set up gtk.org with moinmoin [2] and mentioned
that http://www.pango.org/ and http://www.gnome-db.org/ currently use
that particular Wiki. My personal view of it, is that it seems somewhat
simplistic and might not cater for our needs?

Does anyone have a view on this?
Can anyone provide a good comparison between drupal and moinmoin?
Does anyone have a better solution to suggest?
