We just want people to be able to contribute meaningfully in a way that makes sense to them. * The wiki allows everyone to contribute with zero barrier to entry. Write and publish immediately. Since anyone can write anything there, caveat emptor. * A CMS with an easy editor would basically be the equivalent of "a wiki you can trust just a bit more," because there's an editorial staff dedicated to it by virtue of it being the "official" documentation site. It might be important to note that the CMS is really an experiment, something to try that we really haven't done yet. If it doesn't work, the natural fall back might be to abandon all the editorial mumbo-jumbo and simply concentrate solely on the wiki from there on out. That's a bridge that can be crossed later too. And of course, this is just my $0.02 as a Docs contributor. A lot of the above is pure hogwash until (and unless) the next Docs leader agrees. -- Paul W.
