[CentOS-docs] unsubscribing because...

2014-02-20 Thread Paul Mansfield
I think it's a sad sign when the mailing list is more about how to
manage access to the wiki than actually managing contributions and the
content. I don't really have any confidence that centos wants a
vibrant community. The recent change list at
  http://wiki.centos.org/RecentChanges
isn't really a good sign.

Sorry, but I felt if I simply unsubscribed and disappeared quietly,
I'd not be doing anyone else any favours.

best wishes
Paul

Ironically, just yesterday KB sent email here on the very topic of
contributions and content. There was also a bit of chatter on
centos-devel a few weeks ago about a documentation focused SIG.

I think the last six weeks have been quite a whirlwind with all the
new activity in the CentOS Project, and I'll admit that the months
leading up to that were very busy for KB, Johnny, Jim, and Fabian in
getting ready for the mash-up with Red Hat. In all of that, we talked
many times about how to vitalize the CentOS wiki and documentation
community.

Paul, thanks for the note from a canary-in-the-coal-mind perspective.
I hope the next time you look at what's going on with wiki and docs in
CentOS, you're pleasantly surprised.

 Hi all, 
 
 Requesting edit permissions for the wiki. I'm going to be involved in 
 planning some of the dojos and possibly working on the cloud instance SIG, 
 and would like to be able to edit the wiki as needed.
