WikiStar


SiliconLife as a fork of WikiStar:
improve the user management
add configuration files for the admin (install)
release it!
it could be a ubicomp project hoster (es: Wikia for Wiki)
WikiStar should be for common documentation (Wiki)
every project could have a front page with a bugtracker,

we could use exhisting tools like sourceforge and link the projects
a link to the forum and to the CVS
possible incomes from a percentage on the trade
provide a meeting point
