I can donate a machine and the elbow grease to maintain it. I was thinking
to use Confluence from Atlassian for our internal documentation. If folks
are ok with that look and feel, I can start the process of setting up the
wiki.

P.S. I just saw Mandus's issue regarding outside folks. I would argue that a
wiki is valuable even if only developers contribute. Folks have starting to
expect a wiki interface to documentation. It simply enhances the image of
FEniCS as a project that is "with it".

This would be good to have. For example, people could input an FFC
form and get the generated code in return. This is ideal for a web
service since we have a simple model for what comes in and what comes
out. The problem would be that the FFC form is Python code, so the web
service would execute arbitrary Python code that someone enters into
the web form. So there are security issues.

This would also be good to have, if someone is willing to maintain it.
