I understand your feelings, but I think it is better to keep a single version of the same content even if it is in progress. Someone else might make the rest of the changes and it reduces the risk of all kinds of in progress pages dangling on the wiki. Furthermore it prevents the need for merging when in the meantime others start editing the original content. > > However I believe that the step for editing the wiki should > be kept as > > low as possible and account creating might increase it. > > It is more important to get it filled with usefull content first. > > It should, but as more people start to edit the wiki using > the same user account it will only become more difficult to > keep track of who did what, or who is still working on what. True, but as you say this will become more relevant as more people start editing the wiki. When we have 10+ wiki edits a day it might require some more formalized way of allowing edits, but for now I don't see a problem here. Anyway I will be away for a week so I will not further participate in this discussion on wiki editing. I think editing the wiki itself is far more important than discussing it... warmest regards, Roland Smeenk > >> -----Original Message----- > >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Paul > >> Melis > >> Sent: donderdag 8 mei 2008 9:51 > >> To: OpenSceneGraph Users > >> Subject: Re: [osg-users] Back online but hundreds of posts to go... > >> > >> I noticed that somebody (presumably Robert) moved the > cleaned up FAQ > >> in the sandbox to be the actual FAQ on the website. > >> This is fine by me, as it was good enough compared to the previous > >> version.
