I most definitely would be :)
Monthly might be a bit too often, depending on the scope.
But having a scheduled clean-up to "weed out" outdated articles, update  
information or add new pages sounds like a great idea.

I'm interested in doing some wiki gardening for trisquel. Would you be  
interested in helping with that? It'd be sweet to set-up a monthly wiki  
clean-up.

To read the best free software docs (and NOT OPEN SOURCE), please read  
https://wiki.parabola.nu, a rolling system (another one is PureOS) of our GNU  
project.

Thanks for the pointer, that sounds great. I shall go ahead and post stuff  
there.

FLOSSManuals is a good source of user manuals for free code software, and I'm  
sure they'd be happy to host any new documentation you want to create:

[Trisquel-users] Documentation for Trisquel (or other libre GNU/Linux distros)

[7en]

Hi everyone!

I remember a discussion I recently had about documentation and Free Software.
One critical thing that turns people off or might make it harder for a user  
to actually use some pieces of Free Software is a lack of documentation,  
which just so happens to be an issue that can be tackled by non-technical  
members of the community.


In this spirit, I'd like to ask all of you for suggestions on (libre)  
programs that (in your opinion) need more documentation, be it for setup,  
administration or anything that you feel is appropriate.
The focus of this should be on software that is already included with  
Trisquel or other libre distros in order to make them more approachable, but  
I'd appreciate suggestions for self-hosting guides for certain applications  
etc. as well.


If requests come up for something I'm confident writing about, I'll take the  
time to try and write documentation (be it a guide, tutorial or something  
similar) myself.
Apart from adding the Trisquel-specific information to the wiki, I can host  
the rest on a small Debian server instance that to be set aside for this.


Please post with suggestions and whether or not you think it would be useful,  
if you're interested in providing something yourself and any other hints.
