Just a few thoughts before this gets thrown out into the wild. Some people |
| 4 |
have been saying that a wiki on the gentoo domain would confuse users and |
| 5 |
make them think it was somehow sanctioned information. If you've spent any |
| 6 |
time in #gentoo in the last month or so, you know that almost everyone |
| 7 |
thought gentoo-wiki.com was controlled by gentoo (including myself). So that |
| 8 |
would actually be less confusing for most users. Also, everyone pretty much |
| 9 |
understands the point of a wiki. |

|

Also, I always liked the idea of GLEP 51 (gentoo knowledge base). The idea |
| 12 |
of having some kind of a dev stamp of approval on high-quality wiki |
| 13 |
articles, as suggested above, would serve the same purpose. I think it would |
| 14 |
be a great way to increase the number of doc submissions. Users and devs who |
| 15 |
submitted wiki articles could increase the quality over time, request a |
| 16 |
review, and try to get a "This article is part of the Gentoo Knowledge Base" |
| 17 |
stamp on it. Just an idea... |

Lastly, considering the GDP's reputation for quality docs, I would love if |
| 20 |
you were in charge of the wiki. If you're short on manpower, I'm a competent |
| 21 |
(enough) user who would love to be part of this new wiki project if it goes |
| 22 |
through. Give me a shout next time I'm in #gentoo-doc (djanderson). |
