Thorsten already answered, but I think this is a fundamental error to
think that a wiki means that everybody should change everywhere. It is
very important that people restrict themselves to their areas of

somebody who knows.

The "community" (aren't we all community?) doesn't have to edit it.
However if they notice that it's wrong, they could bring it to the
attention of the group who "owns" those pages.
Hmmm. After reading this para and the stuff you wrote in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-September/msg02494.html
(¹) I more and more get the impression you assume I was aware of the
problem in question (email to rel-eng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx mentioned on
several wiki pages) for quite a long while already.
That's not the case. I saw the mail from jwb and then just used google
(search term: "rel-eng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx site:fedoraproject.org") and
found important pages that were misleading. I then immediately mailed
the list. Yes, the first mail I send was a bit unobvious (jwb got the
message :-) ), but that's why I wrote another one as reply to myself
immediately after sending the first one ;-)

(¹) I didn't really understand that mail in this context; I thought it
was not worth discussing this further as it wouldn't lead to anything
productive, hence I didn't reply.
And note, of course I agree that making other people or groups aware of
a problem when you spot one is the best for everyone. Most people should
know that I do that and/or fix things myself immediately as long as that
makes sense (didn#t make sense here)
P.S.: I hope this sub-thread can now die... It seems just another proof
for the statement "sometimes discussing things on mailing lists simply
doesn't work"
