the new developer wiki has also been going quite well. over the weekend danimo, with the help of a number of css wizards who answered the call in his blog, made the look of things like code boxes even cooler.
he also installed a wikimedia plugin that does syntax highlighting. that was cool enough. but then he tweaked it a bit and now it even links class names to the api documentation. holy crap! =)
i also uploaded images for the various licenses we support (by default we're dual licensing gfdl and creative commons attribution, share alike) and also created templates for them. so if you need to have some different license on your page,then you can just use the templates.
why other licenses, you ask? (ok, you probably didn't, but work with me here) we're getting some contributions such as some ruby/qt tutorials that are currently under creative commons attribution, non-commercial, share alike. we can't do much about the non-commercial bit unfortunately, but we can accommodate it. all darshan (the author) will need to do is do a {{CC-BY-NC-SA}} and boom! license is noted.
i hear tale of other tutorials coming too .. e.g. for kmetadata, a cool new library from the kde nepomuk project and sebastian trĂ¼g (if that name rings bells, think "kde cd burning software"), solid and more..
someone noted a bit of out of date content on the wiki and msg'd me on irc to let me know. i told them it was a wiki and that they could edit it. we both laughed and they made the change.
and remember, you too can edit it. really! (why does that sound like one of those 80s saturday morning cartoon "morals" they'd always tag on to the end? "remember he-man, recycling can help save the world! don't do drugs!")

its' funny, we use a wiki in my office now for internal software documentation and it took forever to the whole team to get the grasp of the wiki. But now that they do it's really taking off. ahhh web 2.0
