If I'm not mistaken, it is totally within YOUR power to get the source
code from CVS and import it into (Meta?) Wikipedia somewhere. I don't
think it's a good idea, but it is possible for you to do. I think
that, if you were to perform this exercise, you would see that wiki
isn't very well suited for source code modification/viewing.
I understand that you want to see if it works. That's perfectly
reasonable. However, you are asking other volunteers, who are already
busy with other important things, to do something that, for the most
part, they are not willing to do.

First of all, again I am not so sure developing in wiki
works. Some think it won't work and some (including me, only
me?) think it might.
But think of the reality. Don't we need better mechanism for
development? Wiki might not work I know that. But I am not
sure yet.
Why don't we try? Is there any technical trouble to publish
wikipedia software sourcecode? It seems to me that it is
possible to publish sourcecode and some sysops apply them
regularly. If it didn't yield good result, it doesn't hurt
anything anyway.
Oh, maybe am I only one who believes development in wiki
might work? If so, I should do that in my own.

The best place for discussion of development and
administration, the
technical aspects, is right here on wikitech-l.
What about the rest of stuff? Like documentation, testing,
bug reports and so on. Sourceforge?
I understand CVS seems better than wiki. Does anyone give
the opinion that the bug reports system of sourceforge is
better than meta-wikipedia. If I remember, there is none. I
would like to move bug reports in sourceforge to meta-wiki
(gradually). Objections?
I probably am going to post more detailed documents to meta-
wikipedia. (and hopefully more people will help
documentation)
I know my proposal is not good enough, what else we can do
to encourage more people to partipicate development?
