+1 here |

If I want to contribute some stuff, I just go to gentoo wiki and write it |
| 37 |
there. It is much much simpler. ( |

http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Lenovo_Thinkpad_X60s) |
| 39 |
If there is something related to control of the guides then maybe every wiki |
| 40 |
page can be controlled by some managers of the global documentation. |
| 41 |
At my work I have a local dokuwiki where I keep my notes and steps. The wiki |
| 42 |
is just easy, and I do consider myself as a command line guy ;-) |
| 43 |
So maybe we should really think about migrating to wiki format. It will be |
| 44 |
much easier to communicate about pages, as the chatting is on the page |
| 45 |
itself, and editing is really no brainer. |
