Hi Gregg, The IoTivity website is not staffed … it is a volunteer organization and we’re actually looking for someone with your critical eye to lead the Tech Docs content management process.
Right now Clarke, Rami (DMTools group reps), Abitha from Samsung, myself and a volunteer 1 day per week Tech Docs person, David Kinder, are putting some lipstick on the site so it isn’t so embarrassing for CES with the help of the OCF staff. Thereafter, we’ve talked about starting to bite off chewable chunks if – and only if – we have volunteers to take bites. One person doesn’t need to update the entire Wiki … even if you were to, for example, offer to screen the Wiki for a particular type of content – that would be immensely popular. Can I add you to a Tech Docs bi-weekly I started for IoTivity? I queried the DMTools Group to see who wanted to participate and picked up Clarke and Rami from that … we’d love to have you along, Margaret From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gregg Reynolds Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2017 1:20 PM To: Heldt-Sheller, Nathan <[email protected]> Cc: iotivity-dev <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [dev] Relevant Security documentation On Dec 14, 2017 2:44 PM, "Heldt-Sheller, Nathan" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi Gregg, “We” is the people who are stepping up and pitching in to make it better… if you’re interested in helping, please step up! I took my time to create a presentation to try to help. And I appreciate that. Except: it's embargoed. Making something that's only available to OCF members is fine, but I do not see how it helps Iotivity (those of us who are not OCF members). I've got tons of stuff (docs) that could help Iotivity but I'm putting it on OpenOCF (for now) mainly because iotivity is such a mess. And it is not merely a doc problem. The deeper problem is that Iotivity is not genuinely open. You never know when something is going to be added or deprecated because one of the corporate sponsors decides it should be so, without public discussion. Too much happens behind the curtain. Others are working to update the IoTivity Wiki, but there’s a lot of content there… maybe you can spend some time going over the IoTivity Wiki and flagging documentation that is out of date, just as an example? I would redo the entire wiki if I thought it would make a difference. But it is obvious that there is a major disconnect between the software and the wiki. The devs don't give a shit, why should I?

And I *totally* agree that this is all too hard to find; we’re working on it! Who is "we"? Maybe "we" should work on making it easier for non-we to contribute. The way you've phrased it makes it sound like this is definitely not an open project.
