It might help the developers... but is ubuntu only that? "If the user
community turns to other sources for help, rather than looking
within, it diminishes the community..." You actually say that?
That wiki solved a need that I had... something that the *true
developers* didn't solve. I know where I place the thanks.
I agree with Dan. He has a right to share something he found
interesting. Moreover, isn't the freedom to choose from different
options the whole essence of open source? By discouraging other sources
to exist, you're taking away a user's freedom to look elsewhere if she
does not agree with the information available on one site.
I was truly surprised to see such a mindset existing in the Open Source
community.
