Generally, yes. But as with software, documentation can be a one-person
effort who has a clear vision on how the development should proceed, and what
path should it take. Now some of my pages takes longer to finish due to
various circumstances, like time demands, and real-life issues.
The problem is that some of the bigger pages are work-in-progress, and I
would like to finish the pages first before I let other users modify/improve
them (that's one of the reasons they're on Trisquel wiki), and by someone
editing these pages only slows me down. There are two reasons for that:
Editing/improving the content until it's not finished can duplicate the work,
if the other person does the same task I plan to do (bear in mind that some
of these tasks needs additional time before they can get published)
I am not improving the page directly, i.e. I do the work offline, then when
I'm finished, I merge the improvements back to the page. Other third-party
modifications are therefore automatically deleted/replaced. Checking the
pages for modifications, then merging those back to my code needs additional
time + I need to state the authors of these improvements on the page.
As I said before, this is only temporary, which will last until I get the job
done. Until then, anyone can fork the (HTML) code and make improvements
themselves, even get inclusion of their work by previous agreement. All I
want is to do it somewhere else, outside my work.
