Good point and it's already linked from the Guix homepage. Trouble is, it only seems editable by FSF associate members (which costs $120 or $60 for students). Am I missing something? While that meets the technical requirement for a wiki, I don't think it meets the spirit: to be easily editable by anyone. What message does that send to would-be contributors? To me, it says something like, we don't actually care about your contribution: you have to literally buy in first. I feel like it also says that community isn't important to us. As an FSF member, I could modify the wiki. However, I know that most people can't. That's the opposite of community. To me, the libreplanet wiki is a non-starter. I was thrilled to see a wiki link on the homepage and disgusted to see that it didn't actually foster community. In fact, there's strife immediately within the "community" wiki, the simple fact it exists, let alone what it says. I think it would be better to have nothing linked from the homepage because 1) the current wiki is useless and 2) linking endorses what's there, including how it appears hostile to community. I'm able to rationalize and understand that these messages are probably not what's intended. However, I think it important to share those reactions.
