8 I agree,
9 the goal of wiki is not the technical quality (even if the quality
10 also is often very good), but the free expression of users.
11 it's a service for the community, not a launch window of the distribution.

14 look to some principal articles, but they have not to carry the
15 responsiblity of them. History carries this resposibility for them.

17 my few cent (and sorry for my english).
