Excellent thread! I'd be really happy to carry this effort further, and the more people participate, the better! What for me are the big points so far: There is large support towards migrating out of mediawiki. There is a series of technical reasons, and we see similar moves elsewhere (Blender is do...

Amazing work @thomas-neemann!

Amazing work!! I'd love if that could become open-source one day... Have you considered it? There could be ways to make money out of it in other ways, like offering support or assets... And it could tap into a much larger pool of users, and get help from FreeCAD developers too. Just saying
