Only users with a wiki account. The gentoo wiki/handbook et. al. are |
| 7 |
great, but I personally really do not like editing wikis in general. |
| 8 |
When I see a clarification or improvement that I could make in gentoo's |
| 9 |
docs, I remember that I'd have to: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
* get a wiki account |
| 12 |
* use a dumb web editor and (probably) HTML to make a change instead of vim |
| 13 |
* get it approved somehow |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
All my enthusiasm vanishes at that point. If gentoo's wiki/docs were, |
| 16 |
say, a bunch of markdown files in a git repo somewhere, I would be much |
| 17 |
more willing to clone the repo, make a change, and send in a patch. A |
| 18 |
wiki and handbook could be auto-generated from this, of course. From an |
| 19 |
infra standpoint, this is also simpler than maintaining a wiki. |

Agree. Gentoo is fantastic. |
