[LLVMdev] Quad-Core ARMv7 Build Slave Seeks Noble Purpose

[Mikael Lyngvig]

It wouldn't take me more than an hour or two to do the format conversion.
 It is rather trivial, actually.  Just say the word and I'm on to it like a
starving bee.  I guess I should get used to using the Sphinx layout; I'm
simply more familiar with the format I use on my own websites.

Have you guys ever considered making a less formal wiki for LLVM
documentation - a place where tiny snippets and tricks could be stored?  A
place that anybody could contribute to in such a way that only the Wiki
editors could accept or reject a proposed change.  Kind of like Wikipedia.
http://wiki.llvm.org.  If you are short on resources, I'd be happy to
volunteer for the task of co-Wiki-editor (this doesn't require as big
knowledge of LLVM as you'd think; it is mostly a matter of rejecting
attempts to defame the site and such).  If any topic in the Wiki became too
complex or too important, somebody could get started on writing the
appropriate coherent, user-friendly documentation that could be merged into
the main branch of documents.

What if we renamed the ARM document to "TipsForBuildingOnARM" instead of
"HowToBuildOnARM"?
