Unless I misinterpreted, you're basically saying that to a writer they need to go work at the project they are documenting, not CentOS. But I disagree and feel you are wrong. The power of the CentOS wiki should be that it's the one-stop shop for admins searching for a powerful rock solid OS that has CentOS-specific documentation, PLUS one that has all these extra types of applications listed with documentation as well. A server admin or user gets the best of both worlds, and as already stated, has one place to look for resources, instead of following links to various pieces all over the Internet. To me, the point of a wiki is to share. I understand your view is different, our views are different. Please, by all means, explain if that is not what you meant. That's what I took it as. For the rest of it, I pretty much already explained myself, and Scott hits the nail on the head. You, being a team member, need to sit down with the other team members and figure out what you want on the wiki, create guidelines, and post them for others to follow. Your vision of what the wiki should be is different than mine, fine, you're obviously higher on the totem pole than I, so I'll just leave and take my docs with me. It's that attitude that I don't understand, and why others don't want to deal with it. The CentOS team and wiki needs to find some consistency. Then, contributors can have something to look at to decide if their content fits. This would fix the issue of causing these wars and angering others. You would have the standards in place, and guidelines outlining what can and will get posted. To be honest, I'm plenty busy in life, I don't need to worry about whether one of my articles or guides is going to tick off a CentOS team member, or please another. This is exactly why folks are leaving the project though, and it's a problem that should be resolved before you have no one left wanting to work on the wiki. With that said, I really have no further comments on the this topic. I'll quit before I wear out my welcome. I've said my peace, explained why I won't be helping further, and truly hope you guys/gals figure out something before the no one wants to work on the wiki. Regards, Max
