So the question is two part: With the new wiki, we have to approve people to write to our wiki space. This becomes much less of an issue. > 1) Is it is a problem that people might add bad content, even if we later > find and remove it, etc. If we remove it when we see it, shouldn't be a problem. We can 'subscribe' to the contrib page and see when changes are made via email so that we can log in and immediately remove the content and warn the user about what should go there instead. > 2) Should we instead make them submit package links to us for review?

Legacy is security fixes for old releases. Add on packages for old releases is outside the scope of Legacy and I don't want to have anything to do with it. > 3) Should we just kill the page, since it *might* violate RH/FP policy if > someone abuses it?

In the Legacy space we shouldn't have to worry about that. -- Jesse Keating RHCE (http://geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (http://www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (http://geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
