Exactly. I think that using a wiki is a very good way to involve people in the project
as i'm sure many people would like to contribute but don't necessarily have
the knowledge/programming skills.
And a wiki wouldn't be a drop in replacement for the linutv web site, but a useful add-on.

True. There are many other projects that use a wiki successfully, on the top of my mind,
Sylpheed-Claws, GTK mail user agent, have a very nice one: http://sylpheed-claws.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/
hmmm, this has all we need. I don't like the visual style, but the
functionality looks good on a first glance.
