Really every herd should be either part of a project or in the process |
| 14 |
of creating a new one for themselves by now. There's no excuse, since |
| 15 |
the block on creating new projects disappeared. |
| 16 |
|

| Now that leaves us to unofficial docs from users. I'm not sure where to |
| 18 |
| put that. A public wiki poses a whole slew of issues I don't think we |
| 19 |
| have enough staff to manage. But relying on gentoo-wiki isn't exactly |
| 20 |
| the best avenue either. Having a site like this is like having another |
| 21 |
| 'team' similar to the forums trying to maintain order/facts. There needs |
| 22 |
| to be another solution that doesn't require as much effort on our part. |
| 23 |
| I sadly can't think of an answer. I guess the real question is, is this |
| 24 |
| that much of a problem/issue? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Are there any wikis with the same kind of spam-protection that a lot of |
| 27 |
blogging software has, such as the crazy-looking picture you have to |
| 28 |
type the word from, and required registration with a valid email address? |
| 29 |
|

The combination of those two would do a lot to deter automated spamming, |
| 31 |
although a determined person could still do damage if they're sitting in |
| 32 |
front of the computer. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Some wiki's also support ACLs, which could help in this respect. For |
| 35 |
example, xorg.freedesktop.org has some pages that are "immutable" and |
| 36 |
can only be edited by a few people. |

Thanks, |
