This is exactly why I think it'd be a great idea to have a gentoo-wiki |
| 11 |
together with the forums. It shouldn't be a replacement, but rather an |
| 12 |
extension of the forums. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The forums are great for answering user questions, but a lot of |
| 15 |
information gets lost as searching them isn't so great. It'd be a lot |
| 16 |
easier for users to find tutorials in a central place like a wiki than |
| 17 |
having to sort through a bunch of none related posts in the forums. |

Why should developers have only the ability to contribute to the wiki? |
| 20 |
Isn't that the point of the Gentoo Docs? I know people say it's because |
| 21 |
Gentoo wants to ensure accurate information, but how are the forums any |
| 22 |
different? You can't guarentee everybodys post's are accurate, so why |
| 23 |
should the wiki be any different. |
