Good news for those that don't follow the mailinglists. The wiki guys just |
| 19 |
announced support for translating wiki pages [1]. That means that the only |
| 20 |
burden we had to "not move" documents from the main documentation site to |
| 21 |
the wiki has been resolved. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In the coming days (well, most likely beyond June 15th as that's a hard |
| 24 |
deadline I have for non-Gentoo related stuff and I'm swamped in work) I will |
| 25 |
be moving documentation to the wiki. I'll start with those documents that |
| 26 |
have bugs on them that we haven't worked on in ages (figuratively) and |
| 27 |
others will follow soon. |

If an article on the wiki already exists on the subject, I'll probably |
| 30 |
not move update it considering I need to keep attribution on the Gentoo |
| 31 |
documents (which means I need to add an acknowledgements section to the |
| 32 |
article, something that doesn't really make sense on existing articles on |
| 33 |
the wiki where just a few parts would be moved). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The Gentoo Handbook is most likely the latest one to be moved, as it is a |
| 36 |
very dynamically generated document (and thus not as easy to integrate on |
| 37 |
the wiki). Or not moved at all. We'll see. |

If you want to assist in moving documents to the wiki, be my guest ;-) |
