On your devtome suggestions article. Also very good ideas and similar to some thoughts of my own. This is limited right now by expertise and time. Rather than type it out again here's what I wrote before to explain. If a regular with PHP skills was willing to take up the ongoing job (and it would have to be a long-term commitment), and maybe if a couple more detome admins were added, then a lot more is possible. This also depends on the site hoster and others being ok with whoever's involved in maintaining plugins etc.
Ok... well..I dont know if regular means talkative or long time contributor but Im sure I have talkative covered

I have enough basic php skills to manage the SQL databases for the websites I build/manage and have had to teach myself to fix errors so I'm always up for learning more. I am pretty confident I can work with the Dokuwiki format and there seems to be a heap of support articles/documentation to help as well.. Can I put my hand up for exploring this further and maybe getting it done?
If you need help with anything I will be willing to give some time to helping you out with the PHP/MySQL things. DokuWiki isn't that difficult. Just have to get around the quirks compared with the robustness of MediaWiki. Let me know if you need anything moving forward with it Melodiem.
