I got the idea of wiki, but I see not that big difference to
the current mailing list procedure. Everyone is free to post
ideas, scripts, shots... to the fvwm-mailing list. If the
posted is good we will put it on the web site.

At the moment mainly I keep the web site up to date. I just
commit my changes via cvs.

A couple of months ago I remade the fvwm web site using php.
At the moment I am working on a concept making the
screenshot and maybe download pages generic, so that it will
be easier to add new shots, scripts, pics and information.
Users won't be allowed to do changes but it will be much
easier for the maintainer to add resources to the web
site. Since my time is quite limited (full-time work and
one-year old son :-) progress is quite poor.

If you would like to do some work on the web site you might
get cvs access, but I am not the one to be asked for that.

If it is small you could send it to the fvwm-mailing list,
if it is bigger please provide a link were we can
download it.
