[Mageia-sysadm] Wiki setup

[Oliver Burger]

Sorry if I confuse things...
I shouldn't have crossposted on web and sysadm, but I wanted to inform/ask 
both teams and I don't know, who reads which MLs...

I think, we need some kind of "wiki team" to keep an eye on it. I would prefer 
to have the contents of the "international" english wiki and the other 
language wikis similar.
Sure there will be sections which will be language/country specific (like local 
events,...) but most things should be translated from one central point.

So in my opinion the wiki team should decide all organizational things about 
the wiki and it should keep an eye on the contents.
Translations should be done by i18n people. I don't think it makes much sense 
to have two different groups of translators in the project.

O.k., not a problem. That would mean a second variable that changes between 
the wikis, but it's doable without a problem.

That's what I did on my test instance. I think it makes updating easier.

Does this make a change to the configuration?
