[QUOTE="weldon, post: 4955703, member: 18817"] This seems like an important question to address first. We have three options on the table... [LIST] [*]Move to ENWorld's Vault [*]Move to a hosted MediaWiki-based site like BluWiki or Wikia [*]Host our own MediaWiki site and get an admin from our community [/LIST] My inclination is to go with ENWorld because that is where the forums are anyways and it looks like there might be some forum / wiki integration possible. Changing software seems like a pain. I like the big community around MediaWiki so that seems like a plus. And we get to keep all the existing templates. Hosting it with an outside company like Wikia or BluWiki seems like an easy way to do it. Hosting our own installation of MediaWiki would give us the most flexibility and control, but it also means that L4W becomes dependent on an individual or set of individuals to admin, maintain, fix, etc. the wiki. People come and go so quickly though that I'd be concerned about losing key individuals and getting stuck. In theory, since it would be MediaWiki based, the site would be easy to move to another host. Seems like one way to move forward would be to determine if the Vault or MediaWiki is better for what we are trying to do. [/QUOTE]
