I don't really care one way or the other. Personally, I don't visit random web sites. If I was looking for information on BackupPC, I'd look at the wiki. When I give references, those will be to the wiki. If your guide was part of the wiki, I'd look at it, reference it, and maybe make suggestions for improvements (or add them to the wiki myself). As it isn't, I won't (I don't reference what I haven't looked at). The BackupPC software is open source and available through sourceforge. If you prefer to offer documentation elsewhere, that is your choice (you may have good reasons for doing so - I don't know). Providing documentation is commendable. Making it easily available would be even more so. But that's just my opinion. There is a lot of information available on the mailing list. Much of it doesn't get copied into the wiki. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure that's a pity. And it's no coincidence I explicitly cc'ed Jeffrey ;-).
