16 Ugh, got lots of free time? If you want to help, provide hosting or
17 such. A hands off approach should be preferred for wiki. We know it is
18 written by users and some poor quality and even wrong info is expected.
19 Wikis are good for pointers and ideas only. We know that and act
20 accordingly. Moreover, we have official gentoo docs anyway.

22 Developer time is better spent doing, well, developer stuff rather than
23 reviewing some wiki. If you insist on review, it will be at best a
24 stale small site and at worst will cut into your developer time.

26 For what it is worth, as a user I vote you spend time developing gentoo.
