Disagree. One does not have to posses some mythical qualifications, or any qualification at all, to write a sensible guide. What is required is knowledge, experience, clarity of thought and expression and a desire and ability to pass-on one's knowledge to others in a very understandable manner. Peer review is obviously beneficial. Placing obstacles in the way perhaps explains why this topic may not have been sufficient covered by the Centos wiki. Just look at what the "Qualified" have produced so far on this topic ! Why does one need to be "qualified" by a third party before one can write a good, concise and very informative guide ? I think it better if the peer reviewer/reviewers is/are distinct from the author(s). Reviewing one's own work is often prone to inadvertently overlooking one's own mistakes. It can be a collaborative effort. -- Regards, Paul. England, EU. Je suis Charlie.
