As far as I understand, when the current website started to be developed (approx 5 years ago) the website was to be groomed towards users and the wiki was going to be groomed to be development-facing.
So putting any articles benefitting users in the wiki would not be appropriate.
This sounds like it might be a borderline case, where an article on how to write themes and create icons sets would benefit both developers and users. Perhaps such an article should be cross posted - both in the wiki and in the gallery? (Although such an article would need to be written in 2 different ways - one in developer-speak, and the other which non-tech-savy users could understand....)
As far as the GitLab repo, while I have not heard anything about which group it's meant to serve, to me, GL is primarily for developers as well.
It seems like I heard a whisper, maybe 3 or even 4 years ago, about wanting to close the wiki. I don't remember what was supposed to replace it, but GL had not been mentioned at that time. As far as I understand, GL has a wiki, doesn't it?
Yep, that's alls I know :p
Happy New Year!

Hi All,
I was just taking a look at Blender's Wiki (https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Main_Page) and I was happy to identify they are using a similar wiki engine as we are. But I also noticed that they have a more modern (beautiful?) visual than we do. Is this something we are able to implement in our wiki as well?
Besides this... are we going to revamp our wiki and centralize documentation material in it? Or are we going to readthedocs? Or are we going to centralize our efforts in the Gitlab wiki feature? Please let me know.
I am really excited to read the article on how to write themes and icon sets for inkscape 1.x once it is ready.
Thanks, Victor
