Ok, so probably we have to agree upon nicknaming the different wikis: (A) By "TDF Wiki" I thought of http://wiki.documentfoundation.org . This wiki serves - according to its main page - many needs simultaneously[1, see below], but at present in my eyes mainly for project coordination. (B) By "libreofficewiki" I thought of http://www.libreofficewiki.de, which is just an alias for the old http://www.ooowiki.de - a very good source of specific information bits and Howtos about OpenOffice.org (but only in German language). (C) I don't know of other public dedicated wikis at present. However, there are libreoffice wiki sections in e.g. the German Ubuntu Wiki [2] and probably other, non-LibO Wikis of course. (D) Finally, to complete the list, the wiki on http://help.libreoffice.org is not a public (i.e. community writable) wiki at the moment, it is just the wikified content of the online help from the LibO software. But it is sometimes referred to as LibO Wiki as well. So what I've suggested to do is setting up libreofficewiki.de (see B) as multilanguage version and translate the contents (I'd suggest starting with English and then followed by other languages) Out of usability reasons I'd not suggest to put such little bits of end user information into the TDF wiki (A). At least not at present. In times of OOo, the argumentation for using the wiki was different: They suggested to put as much as possible information into the OOo Wiki (here I mean: wiki.services.ooo..., not ooowiki.de) to make it the biggest and best possible all-purpose knowledge base. Which is a good argument, of course, but the problem is that for not-so-advanced users there is too much information so the average user does get too much search results and does not know where to start. All-in-one is only good for advanced people, and if it can be filtered efficiently (e.g. show results in one or a desired set of languages only).
