All about the OSDev Wiki. Discussions about the organization and general structure of articles and how to use the wiki. Request changes here if you don't know how to use the wiki.
I'm restarting the OSDev wiki. I'm going to be aiming for something more book-like then the OS Faq at mega-tokyo so when I came across your wiki I naturally wondered if you'd like help out. Email me or stop by the osdev forums if you are interested.

OSDev.org
p.s. I tried emailing you but either the webpage with you address is out of date or you've got a messed up postfix alias file.
I would be happy to help out.
My first suggestion would actually pertain to the forum software, as phpBB is hack-prone. SMF seems to be the solid freeware forum software these days (haven't seen a real hack incident yet). I would be glad to help you transition to it if you wish
OTOH MediaWiki was a good choice
As for the OS Dev Book, I wouldn't mind moving whatever useful info I have at the dynatos.net one, to here... as the name "osdev.org" is much more intuitive

I think anything not updated on a regular basis is hack prone(php in general). phpbb has been a victim of it's own popularity, it's open source and popular so people try to hack it the most. I actually *just* switched from some JBoss forum software to phpBB. A BIG reason was MediaWiki, I can integrate the two so that I can just add forum users to a wiki group and they get edit writes. It's a nice way to keep the spam out without having to lock pages or maintain seperate users.
This site runs in something called a Solaris Zone(think BSD Jails with more perks and security) so if it gets hacked it's not the real system and I'll probably have database dumps to another system scheduled a couple times a day.

I already added the dynatos.net OSDB stuff to your book (wasn't that much). Feel free to edit/reorganize it however you wish. I already took down the dynatos.net OSDB to avoid confusion (it now repoints to dynatos.org, my OS project site).
I will re-point all links from the dynatos.net OSDB to this site.
I will continue to contribute every so often (when time permits). Good luck
