Thanks for the offer. I think it would be a better place also to link specific documents that always come back in newbie threads as well as a place to have a newbie FAQ and dictionary. Don't forget we have (rarely but still) people asking how to patch a ROM or what is the event dump.

I'm thinking also about threads like "All about event hacking" that would be more presentable in a wiki format.

I've look a bit into the options and one that seems good for our needs is dokuwiki. It's file based rather than database based and it seems lower maintenance than others. The goal would be to lower the maintenance on the forum or rather spread it more among the users, not having a heavy maintenance wiki that 1 or 2 people can manage. There's a choosing wizard here. I'll have to run it again because there was about 14 wiki engines for the options I've chosen but dokuwiki seems to be one of the most complete among them.
