Two possible entries come to mind as welcome in a CentOS 
context:

 	1. Don't

 	2. Package it

If a 'unknown' person wants posting authorization, I think it 
is probably a good idea to submit a proposed sample along with 
the request

I come back to the thought that people need to consider WHY 
something needs to be docoed yet again.

We are only building a corpus subject to entropy (aka 
'webrot') by writing 'CentOS' versions of explanations of 
common topics; IF, and really, only if the CentOS solution is 
somehow undocumented in the existing materials, it MAY be 
worth stitching in new wiki content and Forum posts [one 
assumes locked against further addition, and therefor not 
editable by non-'high rights uses'] (Forum posts sadly have 
the shelf life of a fish in many cases).

Otherwise, all we make is busywork to rip out, re-write, 
maintain, and refactor as times change.
