We're considering a similar move for Upstart. We recently added an RST based book called The Upstart Cookbook with facts maintained by developers. Meanwhile half of the wiki is dead wrong. The book format holds more weight, and doesn't require dual-maintenance. If the cookbook is out of date, we get a bug report, not some crackful edit that is completely wrong. I think wikis are useful for well established reference collections. "Why do we do this?" "Who did that?" "Where is this?" .. but for the actual references, wikis stink. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~drizzle-discuss More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
