Shouldn't we be supporting that effort?
We had several discussions in club allready how to maintain the content of mandrakeuser.org and how to organize HowTos and so on. As there was no decission made till yet, sascha opened the mentioned wiki on OpenFacts to do actually something. I would say a wiki would be the best way. What I miss currently in the wikipedia-soft from openfacts is a "translate"-Button like in the club. (Alltough multilanguage support is integrated, you get so used of it if you had it once ;)) The domain mandrakeuser.org would of course be nice for such a wiki. I can not say how the future plans of deno are for this. And I didn't read the whole thread why it is necassary to have a complete community driven site. If plf is the reason I guess it would be be enough to place a disclaimer that all the informations on that site are from the community for the community. If I write something about plf in the wiki it is nothing that mandrakesoft has to worry about then. -- Regards Steffen ____________________ counter.li.org : #296567. machine: 181800 vdr-box : 87 ____________________ Please dont CC me, since if I have replied I'll watch the tread.
