Some of it is probably the docs team. Some of it was that we were |
| 8 |
very slow to switch to a Wiki, which makes it harder for non-staff to |
| 9 |
contribute. |

However, I think another big factor is that necessity is the mother of |
| 12 |
invention. If I am looking up how to do something and I see Arch has |
| 13 |
a really good article on how to do it, why would I invest a lot of |
| 14 |
time to basically re-write it just to put it on the Gentoo website? |
| 15 |
Sure, if it needs a lot of adjustments for Gentoo that might make |
| 16 |
sense, but since both distros tend to follow upstream that is often |
| 17 |
not the case. |
