Hi and thanks for your quick reply :)

@William
Any thoughts?

Any idea why it is down?
I noticed that last night but forgot to ask.

Any nice and easy to deal with Wiki System is okay but I still need to 
understand what is wrong with the current one?

Have we lost all the data on our current Wiki area which is down?

> 2 ) With nothing decided which applications that we will ship with ToriOS, there isn't much we can "document" yet.

Who mentioned anything about the applications? :D

We don't actually need to talk about an application but rather a system ;)

> 3) Why document every step? Let's together focus on the most important things: getting ToriOS ready for the public, including extensive documentation. I don't believe it's interesting to read what we do (and rewrite it several times) but rather what we achieve and how. Comments?

Who will be involved to put ToriOS together? the answer is the 
developers :) I'm the founder of this project, yet I can't do much when 
it comes to the technical side. So? do I have to sit and watch? the 
answer is BIG NO. I don't really want anyone to sit and watch. Since 
there is no testing yet, we need to document our steps. Why?

1- This is helpful for us and for the FOSS world in case someone else 
wishes to follow our steps and start his/her own project. He/She can 
read and learn from our mistakes before our achievements.

2- Creating a powerful Wiki and Doc System for ToriOS is something I 
have in mind and I'd like to see it.

3- I believe it will attract more people to join and help.

You know I have build Ubuntu GNOME Wiki Area from scratch (we had only 
one page). So, you guys are not alone, I can always help whenever needed.
