-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: When drafting documentation on the wiki, you could just make a new page in your namespace. Like this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Crantila/FSC/Sound_Cards Also, I'm not sure that "outdated software" is a reason we update already-published documentation. jhradile is the maintainer listed on the guides table[0], so it's their responsibility to decide when to publish. Thanks for contributing!
