So, I think we have requirements for the following possible projects:
1. External Archiving Platform - System for periodical automated achiving
of externally hosted free RPG content. Author's submit pages from their
sites they would like to archive. The system should commit updates to a
versioning repository, such as CVS, to ensure that all external services
are never lost.
2. Internal Content/RPG Hosting Platform - An automated hosting platform
similar to Sourceforge.net but tailored to on-line content production.
Should provide web hosting, versioning system, mailing lists and WebDAV.
3. RSS Free RPG Content Update Feed - RSS feed collating all the updates
from the various free RPG content projects from 1. and 2. above, for
external syndication.
4. libRPG - A library that abstracts roleplaying system rule-sets and
allows for dynamic and flexible roleplaying rules for other applications,
such AS CRPGS and character generators. Will take an XML rule-set and
covert into byte-code on the fly for efficient access.

Yes, it would be nice to get a much simpler export functionality. I am
actually pondering starting work on a Wiki-like document management system
that uses and XML mark-up syntax and allows for organisation and collation
of content into more book-like structures. It would also allow export
directly to popular Word processing formats, such as for OpenOffice.

Sounds just what we are looking for as an alternative to Wiki. I will
investigate myself :)
