I think in that sense Wikis are like PERL, it is very quick to put something together that looks powerful, but long term maintenance and general extension is impossible. Why not put all PETSc source code into the wiki then we can easily edit it without bothering with Emacs and shells?

I can see exactly what I put in right away, and so can everyone else. Its exactly the same version control as the source, as Jed pointed out, and I have been using them for other projects and its easy.

   Barry has an extremely crappy memory and if he cannot find it in the petsc.git tree he cannot find it. It is difficult for Barry to handle: some stuff is here, some stuff is here, some stuff is over there (this should be obvious with my obsession with constantly organizing the PETSc tree). This was not true with Barry 20 years ago but is now and will be for you in 20 years :-)
