Dear community, in my attempt to stabilize my course, as a user, in -- and out -- of the OSGeo, and especially the GRASS-GIS community, I kindly request to take over the GRASS-GIS wiki manager (responsibilities<http://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_jobs#Wiki_manager_.28open.29>).
The GRASS-GIS wiki is, undoubtedly, increasing both in size and quality of content. However, there are still things that can be done for the much desired "internal consistency" and its usefulness. Towards this goal, there is unfortunately always lack of time to invest and ensure that the material: - is presented in a clean and easy to read structure - is up-to-date or if old but still useful, explicitly identified as "historic" - protected by undesired noise (read: Spam or other irrelevant content) Of course, the above points remind myself: I have several contributions in the wiki which can, and should, be much improved :-p. Therefore, it is reasonable, to me at least, that one or just a few community member(s), not too busy involved in many other community-related tasks, will take over this responsibility. Unfortunately, I have no evidence to support my claim that one or a few dedicated community member(s) will successfully move towards the premises of consistency and quality. There is no mechanism, as far as my understanding goes, to ensure that. Towards this scope, I will try to invest some time during the week and work on the wiki. My idea is to to engage in a slow but solid process. I will try to prefer quality over speed! Along with my request to participate as a wiki manager, I would like to have some feedback and Ideas upon this. How can we improve the overall quality of the GRASS-GIS wiki? Is there a (better) way to strive for a clean, easy to read, consistent and high quality content?
