Robyn Bergeron¹ said: "Wiki is 'where information kills itself'". Wikis _can_ be amazing platforms, but making them so requires discipline and dedicated curation. It works best when the wiki itself _is_ the project. Think of all of the obsessively-updated-and-complete wikis dedicatd to various computer games. Or TV Tropes². The Arch wiki is like this, too: in some ways, the wiki IS Arch. Ours was never like that, and grew in many different directions and gets used for over a dozen completely different things. This means it's really hard to find anything, hard to know if something is up to date or still relevant, and — perhaps most crucially — a reader is always one click away from something that will be misleading, confusing, obsolete, or just plain wrong. New docs site isn't perfect, but it is, at least, _docs_. .... 1. My predecessor as FPL, for the new folks around here. 2. Standard warning: Do not visit TV Tropes if you value the next 10 hours of your life. :) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
