Well, most email clients are pretty user-friendly but the wiki is not very user-friendly. It claims every page is an "Immutable Page" and I though you can find me forgetting more than once that it changes if one logs in - which isn't mentioned on http://wiki.debian.org/HelpContents And I've not fixed that second page because apparently the login details I have stored locally were not correct because apparently all user passwords were reset and when I just tried to recover it, I got told "Your token is invalid!" in nice friendly(!) red text with a big red X. I'm now asking debian-www and will keep moving it up, but surely most people just go and do something more fun instead when they get given a big red X? So, I feel if someone doesn't understand why people point out the wiki's bloopers without fixing them, they're not empathising with users. Even for stale old webwarts like me, the debian wiki feels pretty strange and a bit hostile. I wish I had the spare time to improve it, but there's so much else to do first (after all, why run for DPL rather than improve the wiki more? ;-) ) Hope that informs, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. http://koha-community.org supporter, web and library systems developer.
