There was a discussion some time ago on the scope of the wiki. I believe that we decided that the wiki was a space for two different types of content (and I am paraphrasing here): 1) content that helps users learn how to get things done with Fedora (end-user content) 2) content that helps organize and direct current and future contributors (contributor content) Perfect examples of both: 1) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB 2) https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/14/FeatureList Additionally, there is so much content on the wiki that may or may not have been superceded by some of the content of the static website (notably, the content on the Foundations). And, admittedly, that content is useful for both users *and* contributors. What I personally have found -- and perhaps the actual data does not back this up, totally unsure right here -- is that people Google for what they want to learn, whether from docs.fp.o or fp.o/w, or they get links on that information from friends or #fedora. (I don't care one way or the other on 'Contributors' or 'Wiki'. I'm just providing information.) -- Ian Weller <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Where open source multiplies: http://opensource.com
