Disagree. One does not have to posses some mythical qualifications, or
any qualification at all, to write a sensible guide. What is required
is knowledge, experience, clarity of thought and expression and a desire
and ability to pass-on one's knowledge to others in a very
understandable manner.
Peer review is obviously beneficial.
Placing obstacles in the way perhaps explains why this topic may not
have been sufficient covered by the Centos wiki. Just look at what the
"Qualified" have produced so far on this topic ! Why does one need to
be "qualified" by a third party before one can write a good, concise and
very informative guide ?
I think it better if the peer reviewer/reviewers is/are distinct from
the author(s). Reviewing one's own work is often prone to inadvertently
overlooking one's own mistakes.
It can be a collaborative effort.
