Wow......I don't really know how this discussion got so far off-base. For several years now, there has been a lot of discussion in the z/VM community about the need to have a place to collect the "wisdom of the elders", i.e. the knowledge and experience of those of us who have been doing this a long time and which can be of help to the new folks who keep showing up asking for help. A wiki seemed like a useful place to try and do that. (Dave even tried to get something like this going a few years ago.) Mark Post is simply trying to get that movement going again and I appreciate his efforts.
Since Linux continues to be the "hot thing" that companies are putting on z/VM, it makes sense to include information on it in the wiki too. Absolutely no one has suggested getting rid of this list or supplanting it with the wiki. There is certainly no reason the two cannot coexist nicely. Whether or not you are willing to trust the information provided on the wiki is totally up to each individual. Just because some wiki's are full of crap isn't really a good reason not to try this one. If there are problems with the way the wiki is managed, we'll deal with it. We are simply trying to fill a need that, so far, no one has successfully addressed.
