Given the quote, Samuel's comment was about the proposal of having a
set of wiki pages; he is probably aware of the developers-reference
package containing the outcome of the current way of maintaining
devref.
I'm sure people like Holger can argue that, starting from Moin, you
can easily have a product that is packageable to use offline, by
exploiting the docbook rendering. While this is true, my preference
is with the current state of affair, as I really fear losing the
important role of "editors" for documents like devref. That
notwithstanding, I'm not in the condition of volunteering myself as a
co-maintainer of the devref.
Lucas, out of curiosity, have you tried to simple sent out an
announcement for co-maintainers to try continuing the "old style"
maintenance?
Cheers.
