The software is GPL, and if you use it, you could make the data be any license you want. I'm happy to volunteer to host it, but I guess you guys have plenty of resources in that department already.
I think that your using wikipedia software (the new version) would be good for everyone.

The LDP is talking about whether to set up our own Wiki project for working on HOWTOs. There seems to be quite a bit of interest. I don't know what will come of it yet. I asked whether they're interested in using Wikipedia, but I suspect we need real-time updates and stuff like that, so it wouldn't work very well. Let me know how you feel about this though. We're still discussing it ourselves.
If we were to do that, we would need the licensing situation finally established in concrete terms, as well as attribution requirements. Any really big attribution would be an annoyance, but we'd want to make sure Wikipedia got a mention in all HOWTOs worked on that way. The big table would be overkill imho.
But if we do, I would like to use the Wikipedia software. We want to use the current editing capabilities to output DocBook format, as in:
=Title=
Foo
Bar
becomes:
<sect1><title>Title</title>
<para>Foo</para>
<para>Bar</para>
</sect1>
and so on. How is the software licensed, and can I get access to the cvs? I don't think I'll need commit rights. I'll fix any bugs I run into and send a patch if that happens.
