It's the classic problem with technical docs on a Wiki. The experts already know the answers, so don't go to the Wiki to read it, and the new users don't have the technical background to fill in the gaps. I'm forever chasing down the devs for updates to the OpenOffice.org Wiki...
It seems as good idea, to have one or more persons on openSUSE wiki that will do exactly the same. It means, having a lot of lists with contact information, tasks and comments on execution, but that is the only way to keep docs up to date.
One question... do confirmed Wiki Team members get admin/sysop rights on the wiki? (so they can move/delete pages etc.) or is this concentrated to a few admins?
Currently we don't have process where new editors should pass, be confirmed and get sysop rights. It is on case by case basis and currently only
Shayon has made a good point... a semi regular posting to the mailing list here to remind people about Wiki maintenance might be a good thing - not so much so that it would be considered noise by the grumpier members here, but say every couple weeks, the team could send a status/reminder.
