How is our wiki going?

[Simbax]

But why do you want to make Colobot a "always online" game?

We don't. @krzys_h explained it a few posts above:

The plan is to instead of having a wiki with the same information as in SatCom we just add a online viewer for these files that will be loaded directly from the GitHub repo.

The game won't even know about the existence of SatCom Online. They may (and should) share the same code parsing formatting and rendering, but that's it. It will be only a viewer, similar to the one in the game. They will use exactly the same content files.

About updating... I think, the in-game documentation should be tied up with the game version. It doesn't make sense to update separately documentation in 1.3 version of the game, as the newest documentation may describe non-existing things introduced in 1.5 version of the game and this would only lead to confusion. Although, the on-line viewer should give an option to change the version. Maybe ten last commits in case of dev branch, or ten last tags in case of master branch.

Why not have it side by side with github?

I thought it was already explained.

• We would need to maintain two separate documentations.
  
• There would be a huge chance of inconsistent informations.
  
• It would be a waste of our human resources.
  

Also, I don't think you understand what GitHub is. It's a source code hosting with a version control support and the game is developed there, if one could say so. We must keep the game's data there anyway, so why create another storage, when we can just use what we have?
