There is a wiki at http://xwin.org:9673/xwin/FrontPage Granted, it is not run by the XFree86 people but by xwin.org, a potentially competing group of people -- who have already showed that they are dissatisfied with the way XFree86 is run. Whether that's a bonus for you or the converse, I don't know :) > Referring them to a TWiki page named "BeforePostingYourProblem" could lead Perhaps we should make such a page on the xwin wiki... > can convince you that a TWiki is a good idea, someone volunteers a hosting > site for it and a domain name, I would then look for some help in setting it > up. The xwin wiki is currently zwiki which is not all that nice. Here is a snippet from the xwin IRC channel at irc.freenode.org a couple of days ago: <keithp> firefly: yeah, wiki markup is a pain. I'm expecting to switch wiki software in a week or so when I get another host for the xwin.org content; perhaps we should have a discussion about which wiki software to use instead of zwiki (which sucks pretty bad) As a matter of fact I did suggest twiki because it seemed better in many ways. If you are volunteering to help set it up it would be wonderful :) Contact addresses: #xwin on irc.freenode.org/irc.freenode.net http://xwin.org http://xwin.org:9673/xwin/frontpage http://xwin.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xwin -Peter PS: This doesn't change Egbert's other point, that the X server should not mention an email address but something like an URL, which contains the frequently asked questions, a searchable archive and only then, buried at the bottom, a mailing address. (I embellished a bit on what Egbert wrote but I don't think I'm far off from his intention) _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
