And, it seems in some cases, neither areas are completely accurate or up to date -- even more maddening! I experienced this very thing when trying to track down current information on CVS usage yesterday. It's important from my standpoint to keep the main site pages because this is where prospective members can join, view mailing lists etc. I feel the main site vs the wiki for a given area can, and probably should, reflect different types of information, but, yes, by all means they should be kept in sync. project managers are the appropriate contacts for dealing with this. I know this rant doesn't solve the problem, but we really need to work on these kinds of issues if we want to maintain sanity. maybe the Community Council can take this up at the next meeting or something. We could definitely use better guidelines on usage of the main site vs the wiki. > > Bjoern > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > -- ============================================================ Kay Schenk ph: 530-898-5339 Applications Development and Enterprise Design CSU, Chico "Greatness is not a function of circumstance.
