Nice, but what would be the use-cases for those features on
linuxaudio.org? Basically we recommend flossmanuals.net for
collaborative documentation.
It'd also be a bit of work to [write a script to] convert the ~4000
existing wiki pages (mostly apps) to the xwiki; and write a custom app
(or plugin) to visualize tags/categories like eg.
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/categories/jack
Besides that, I'm somewhat averse to installing JAVA on the LAO server.

Cool. However, I don't see the benefit of a Timeline for the
wiki.linuxaudio.org site. I think we'd rather want some more music
related features like f.i. http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/abc :) but
maybe that's just me.
