Only users with a wiki account. The gentoo wiki/handbook et. al. are great, but I personally really do not like editing wikis in general. When I see a clarification or improvement that I could make in gentoo's docs, I remember that I'd have to: * get a wiki account * use a dumb web editor and (probably) HTML to make a change instead of vim * get it approved somehow All my enthusiasm vanishes at that point. If gentoo's wiki/docs were, say, a bunch of markdown files in a git repo somewhere, I would be much more willing to clone the repo, make a change, and send in a patch. A wiki and handbook could be auto-generated from this, of course. From an infra standpoint, this is also simpler than maintaining a wiki. > (3) until some enthusiastic sponsors come forward to host/maintain these > systems, I don't think its fair to overburden the already stretched > Infra guys (no offence, guys! you're doin a great job). Agree. Gentoo is fantastic. Alec
