Two possible entries come to mind as welcome in a CentOS
context:
1. Don't
2. Package it
If a 'unknown' person wants posting authorization, I think it
is probably a good idea to submit a proposed sample along with
the request
I come back to the thought that people need to consider WHY
something needs to be docoed yet again.
We are only building a corpus subject to entropy (aka
'webrot') by writing 'CentOS' versions of explanations of
common topics; IF, and really, only if the CentOS solution is
somehow undocumented in the existing materials, it MAY be
worth stitching in new wiki content and Forum posts [one
assumes locked against further addition, and therefor not
editable by non-'high rights uses'] (Forum posts sadly have
the shelf life of a fish in many cases).
Otherwise, all we make is busywork to rip out, re-write,
maintain, and refactor as times change.
