I’m uncomfortable, though, with a site aiming to be a reference for Open Source projects yet probably running on non-OpenSource software: isn’t there enough dogfood available?
Well, for one thing, Jotspot seems to have a range of features (think of structured data) that other wikis lack.
Second, my time is limited and I very much value having an hosted service that is ready to use. This is why I simply started by writing a review on this blog. I don’t want to start a new software development project and be dragged down by bike-shed type of arguments.
Third, I think having open data is more important than having open source, for this kind of endeavour.
In any case, nothing has been set in stone. I’m just going to take Jotspot for a ride for a couple of weeks and see whether it fits the bill or not.
