Well the answer is simple, and it is the same principle that Wikipedia
uses. Someone else will fix your formatting :-)
Ie the emphasis should be that we are looking for good content. Wiki
editors should help with the formatting, catagorizing and naming of
pages, ideally by educating the contributor. Of course Wiki editors
can only do this properly if they all do it in a consistent manner
following clear guidelines that come out of discussions like this one.
By Wiki Editor, I mean openSUSE community members who like to
contribute to the project by organising the wiki, not any sort of
appointed position.
