Wiki Platform

I’m confused about the wiki, which can be found at https://wiki.openmandriva.org. I’d like to contribute and/or maybe even suggest some reorganization. When you browse the wiki, it kind of looks like a wiki, in the sense that it has links and seems to have a log in page which presumably grants you access to it.

However, I recently came to understand that the wiki is actually managed via Markdown files in a GitHub repository. This makes me wonder if in fact it is not a wiki but generated from a static site generator like Jekyll or Hugo.

So before I attempt to do anything with the wiki, I want to understand what I’m getting myself into. :grinning_face:

Is it a static site generator, or is it a wiki? As static site generators go, I’ve only ever used Jekyll and Sphinx, and I don’t recognize any configuration from those two platforms in the repo. If it is a static site generator, there should be a way to build the site locally and preview your changes before committing them to GitHub. How do you do that?

Thanks in advance for the info!

So is this the recommended path to working on the wiki and previewing changes? Install wiki.js on your machine, clone the OpenMandriva wiki repo, and go from there?
