Hi Russell, It seemed to me that this page wasn't nearly as good an introduction to contributing to Django as the contributing guide from the official docs, so I trimmed it and pointed to the docs instead.
In fact, I started by removing incorrect or outdated information — for instance, the workflow described in the page dated back to the pre-git era, replacing get_absolute_url appeared to be the main current project while no one has worked on it for years, etc. A few minutes later there was so little left that I simply rewrote the page. Generally speaking, I don't believe we'll ever manage to keep the wiki sufficiently accurate and up to date to make it useful. Last year I tried to look for spam links (with a script) and scrub them, but there were so many that I gave up. In my opinion, the viable alternative to our self-hosted wiki is called the World Wide Web :-) Feel free to restore and perhaps update the previous content. I believe it did more harm than good, but as long as it remains clear that you need to authenticate before you can file a ticket, we'll be all right! -- Aymeric. > Le 13 août 2014 à 01:21, Russell Keith-Magee <[email protected]> a > écrit : > > Hi Aymeric, > > I just noticed that the content on the wiki homepage has been massively > altered, replaced with a "please login with GitHub" text.
