Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: [RFC] Gentoo Wiki Project
There are things I know about Gentoo Linux and I'm pleased to share my knowledge with others as well as I'm glad to learn from others. I'm not a Gentoo dev and I neither have plan nor wish to be. My feeling is that Gentoo Wiki Project is just but another occasion for debating rules and politics. Reading some messages from some people I feel like I'm not welcome because I'm not a member of a group of selected people. I have a French wiki to maintain, Gentoo-Québec's one, and I also have to help people by answering their questions on Gentoo-Québec forum. I think my real place is there.

A lot of powerusers can write excellent doc on the gentoo forum right now, so they don't need to by Gentoo Dev to right excellent stuff. I don't see your point. They already write great stuff on http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/. I think having two different places to put this kind of stuff might split the contributor base. It'd be nice if we could either merge the two or make the official wiki about developing with Gentoo rather than how to use Gentoo, but in any case I'm just happy to have somewhere to stick things. -- fonts,by design, by neglect gcc-porting, for a fact or just for effect wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 _ Live connected.

Re: [gentoo-dev] [Gentoo Phoenix] an official Gentoo wiki
Hi ! I maintain Gentoo-Québec wiki. I'm not the only one as d2_racing and some other members also do. I maintain CSS, examples and wrote almost 60% of the stuff. If you think I could help, please just let me know. The wiki : http://gentoo-quebec.org/wiki/index.php/Accueil Guy Fontaine

To that end, I'm stopping maintenance of these packages, which are available for anyone to take: app-misc/colordiff app-shells/fish sys-process/iotop and...

What kind of background is needed to maintain packages ? Well, I would like to do more than just writing documentation about Gentoo and promote its usage. I'm aramis_qc on Gentoo-Québec (gentoo-quebec.org). I sure am confident that I can be successful with the help of my friend d2_racing (Sylvain Alain) who now is a gentoo-dev.
