The forums contain a lot of information on topics not even touched by the gentoo docs, but wading through all the reactions (some threads are 20+ pages long) is a nearly impossible task. A wiki that would get corrected by the users would surely be easier to read and maintain than a thread. You'd just have to make clear that it isn't supported by gentoo in any way. |
