I didn't mean to say that you or the broader Guix community doesn't care. I can see how what I said was unclear and accused people of that. I'm sorry for that. What I tried to say was *not* if someone values community that they must have a wiki. Instead, that a wiki is inherently based around community. If there's a wiki, there is implied community. Of course, it's technically possible for someone to create, host, and maintain a wiki just for themselves. But given the options of not hosting, or using some other format (e.g. blog), the choice of a wiki strongly implies collaboration (which is the essence of community). I was under the impression that the wiki linked to from the main page was *not* editable by non-FSF members. I was mistaken about that. If that were the case (non-editable), then I think it would reflect poorly. I tried to make the wiki more clear. I still think it's confusing for it to be there. > Guix cares about community very much.

The reality is that wikis can be helpful and they can be misleading. I don't think anyone is under the impression that they will write and maintain themselves. I'm not advocating for a wiki. I'm saying, there is one currently linked to from the homepage. What should be done with it? I'm willing to help maintain it.
