Hey again. So there's some discussion (again) on starting up an official |
2 |
Gentoo wiki. Official meaning it's hosted on our infrastructure; e.g. |
3 |
wiki.gentoo.org. This time the discussion is coming from our fellow |
4 |
developers and infra overlords. |

|

I know that the GDP discussed this any number of times on this list, and |
7 |
some of us (most notably myself and neysx) have discussed it on the |
8 |
forums, with occasional feedback from other developers. |
9 |
|
10 |
However, it's been quite awhile since the last time we (the GDP) talked |
11 |
it over. Given our current issues of manpower and time (see |
12 |
archives.gentoo.org for commit totals), perhaps a wiki could solve some |
13 |
issues? |
14 |
|
15 |
The classic problems are: |
16 |
1) Who has access |
17 |
2) Who reports faulty articles |
18 |
3) Who fixes them |
19 |
4) Who verifies the article is correct |
20 |
5) ??? |
21 |
6) Profit |
22 |
|
23 |
So, I'd like to hear what you think. Should we have a wiki? Why or why |
24 |
not? If so, for once, does anyone have some *sane* ways to admin and |
25 |
moderate such a wiki? |
26 |
|
27 |
There's no question that having a properly-administered wiki can be a |
28 |
powerful asset. Look at Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, the Xfce wiki, etc. What |
29 |
about Gentoo? |

Halcyon has brought it up again on https://bugs.gentoo.org/75855, but |
32 |
BEFORE I/we go over there and weigh in, let's hash it out here on our |
33 |
list. :) |
