Sorry; misunderstanding; I think WiKi's are -good-. I just notice that the feedback/penalty/reward tradeoff is slightly on the wrong side of the balance; and, compared to an email, list apparently does allow a certain inappropriate use not as commonly seen on the mailing list side. > I agree with the idea that this is partly because of the Wiki being > owned and operated by the Cocoon community (users & committers), > and eventualy might be moved under the oversight of the Cocoon PMC, > rather than an centralized ASF resource (= multi-project and/or > in-crowd-only). Aye - and that is a first step. And perhaps; if we can identify that community somehow - which may be as simple as a one off ASF wide email validation - we can give them even more control over their own destiny. Dw
