[CentOS-docs] Re: Create page about rebuilding SRPMS and preparing RPM environment

Hi,

I'm sorry if I'm not answering all e-mails on this thread, I really
thought this would be a simple issue and would not create a lengthy
thread like this one.

Ok, if this is still the general opinion please let me know. I would
rather work on the Wiki itself directly, since then it's easier to
have others collaborate and the markup will be finished when the
content is finished. If you wish, it could be in a "sandbox" and not
directly on the definitive URL.

Yes, I would love to have others collaborate (with fixing English and
language, adding new subtopics, helping make it clear). I mean, that's
the point of Wiki.

I could do a .txt and send it to the mailing list, but as I said, I
think working on the Wiki would be more productive.

I actually think it would be productive to give more people write
access to this page, since there are others who certainly are more
knowledgeable than me in this area, and I would certainly invite
collaboration. I volunteered to start it, I could do it all by myself
and enhance it from others' feedback, but I believe it would certainly
benefit from others in this list being able to edit it directly.

My offer is certainly still up. However, if someone else wants to step
up and start a page with this content, I would certainly not mind, and
I would certainly contribute ideas (using this list?) and reviewing
it.

Thanks,
Filipe
