If you mean that it's final place should be on a website/wiki, then IMHO
http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca is currently a better place (and you will get
a password immediately).

However, IMHO the solution must be to have better documentation
installed on the machine (not on the net, what if you are trying to
trouble-shoot connecting to the net, or don't have access for some other
reason?).

Compare:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/screenshots/mandrake-cooker-9.2-yelp.png

To:
http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/screenshots/win2k3/help_center_linux.png

It's no problem writing the documentation:
http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/SambaDomainController

The problem is that it's inaccessible to many people, and not found by
the rest.

This is another problem that needs to be solved in a scalable manner ...

Buchan
