><br> > My WikiUserName is FilipeBrandenburger.<br> ><br> > Thanks,<br> > Filipe<br> <br> <br>I'm confused. Ralph, from what I read in all your responses so far,<br> you seem to be in favour of having this page written. Or am I<br>
mistaken?<br> <br> The thread has been getting too long. It is about just one Wiki page.<br> No big deal to me. Let's look at what is written and continue the<br> discussion if that is necessary.<br> <br> This type of reaction (the whole thread) would scare other people away<br>
who are thinking of contributing their time to write an article. They<br> may fear that their proposal triggers yet another 40-ish thread and<br> their offer gets blown away. We are even talking about opening up the<br>
CentOS Wiki. I cannot envision how that is ever possible if a simple<br> request like that does not see an end 10 days after the original<br> inquiry.</blockquote><div><br>I would agree with what Akemi writes above. On the 19 July the general opinion was that Filipe should go ahead and draft out his idea. I suggested that if needs be, I would help him with some editing of his work. Filipe (from my reading of his response) was agreeable to that and was still enthusiastic in helping. I have been waiting to see the initial draft. It turns out that he (Filipe) does not have anywhere to do this work.<br>
<br>Please correct this oversight, Ralph.<br><br>Alan.</div></div><br>
