Hi list, on the wiki aspect of the Official Fedora site has to be given a serious thinking. I am coming from 6 months experience with openSUSE site, which is a wiki driven one, and it's been difficoult to introduce and "keep up" running many aspects of it. Still i don't have understood completely the relations (legal and commercial ones, at least) that we have between www.redhat.com -> http://fedora.redhat.com -> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ When the roles are clearly defined we can successfully manage the last 2, and decide on localization in a way to gather local teams effectively. I find the Ubuntulinux.org site as an illuminating example to look at. To me they've started from the beginning as a wiki but with a core team being in control of the overall design, the core info, the official announcements and the "official doc". Then there was a part given to choosen people which coordinates reasonable portion of it and the contribution that began to come in. For the local sites i can take here the italian example, some started a local wiki, with our own logo and color palette. Then two or three prominent contributors became "the" local Lo-Co team reference for italy to deal with the core group. It has been stated that the local site had to look more and more similar to the Official one, and there is going some (controlled) interaction on what happens to Ubuntu-Forum and the wiki. This way of proceeding has revealed to be successfull (look at the number of arguments in both ubuntu forums/wiki). The openSUSE experience was, for me - obviously, a bit frustrating since there was and already strong but crystalized community around SUSE and the openSUSE site has lacked to gather enough momentum around himself (again too many times I've read "we're waiting for a Novell answer / solution / whatever). That will be also the answer for Fedora ? I hope not, since i've joined you again on the core 5 release (and the discovery of the fedoraproject wiki). To summon up. Maybe now with fedoraproject.org growing we should think about the roles of "the wiki" and of "the site". The latter of which, for me, is at the moment fedora.redhat.com. Hope not being dull or boring. If so, excuse me, please.
