Wiki instead of CVS:
Why don't we try?
Because it doesn't work. CVS is a lot more than just an editing system.
Please familiarize yourself with it before suggesting this yet another
time:

I know my proposal is not good enough, what else we
can do
to encourage more people to partipicate development?
Generally, give higher exposure to the open source side of Wikipedia.
Most people who come to the Wikipedia project simply don't do so from a
software development perspective, so we need to highlight more that this
side exists as well.
We need to make the Wikipedia-code Wikipedia-independent. This isn't
very hard, but some stuff needs to be fixed before Wikipedia can really
be recommended as a general wiki, especially in the interlanguage links
department (fortunately for us, most other wikis don't have
multilanguage support at all).
The fact that with OpenFacts there will soon be another Wikipedia
specifically for open source documentation should also help in
attracting new developers.

Erik
