Hello all,
For open source project wikis, it's nice if the home page
1) Lets new users know that this is an active project with a lot going on.
2) Encourages people to contribute to the project and the wiki.
Both the BioPython,org and GMOD.org sites include a list of links to news
items on the home page. This is done in both sites with a MediaWiki
extension.
The GMOD.org home page also includes a list of new and recently updated wiki
pages. This achieves both goals, by showing what's happening, and by giving
people a slight reward for updating the wiki by placing a link to the page
on the wiki. This is also done with MediaWiki extensions.
My 2¢,
Dave C
