As it stands, it seems to be a grey area, similar to my hair. However, (and whether this is good or bad is what is fueling this debate, so I'm just stating it as something that is) for me, at least, I no longer consider submitting to the wiki, I simply put them up on my own pages. Even something CentOS specific, such as using a later version of hplip was easy for me to put on my pages, didn't have to ask anyone, didn't have to argue that yes, the docs on hplip are wrong, and yes, I did drop them a line. The wiki's restrictions seem, in my most humble opinion, to sometimes lower, rather than raise, the quality of content. For example, the ArchLinux wiki is an extremely useful resource, even for those not using Arch. Its docs are clear, written by users for users in most cases. When a developer, say, someone as knowledgeable as yourself, writes, you may tend to overlook the very things that others need to know because they are so second nature to you. So, my own opinion is that the wiki powers that be should make a decision as to exactly what you want it to be--if most agree with Russ,then it should, to reiterate, be clearly stated so that other folks don't waste time and effort preparing something that will be rejected. Again, not saying this is good or bad, as that's a bikeshed discussion, just that it should be decided, and clearly stated. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Giles: (scoffs) Magic!
