Dear all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I would like to suggest that we adopt the "sighted pages" system similar as |
| 4 |
used in the german wikipedia for our wiki, and am submitting that for mailing |
| 5 |
list and council discussion and / or decision. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
What does that mean? |
| 8 |
* Anyone can still edit a page |
| 9 |
* A limited amount of people can proofread a page and mark it as "correct" |
| 10 |
(here: Gentoo devs). |
| 11 |
* If you are browsing anonymously, you get the newest "correct" page. |
| 12 |
* If you are logged in to the wiki, you get the newest page. If this version |
| 13 |
has not been marked "correct" yet, that is displayed as warning message. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Why? |
| 16 |
* If you browse an "official" wiki, you may expect some sort of "official" |
| 17 |
documentation, not something where $Random_Dude has just inserted "rm -rf /*" |
| 18 |
* However, we still want to encourage users to contribute. |
| 19 |
* Using the "sighted pages" system may enable us to combine both advantages. |
| 20 |
* On the long run, this may make it easier to move official documentation into |
| 21 |
the wiki. (Having two incompatible doc formats will cause us pain.) |

Opinions? |
