> This is our new Wiki QA concept. As you know, we use FlaggedRevs
> extension to flag articles as "sighted", i.e. as approved openSUSE
> documentation resource. Feeding the changes (i.e. new articles and
> major edits to existing ones) to the forums is our approach to
> implement a proof-reading, reviewing mechanism before new articles get
> a "sighted" flag. Imagine you create a new page about "foobar", you
> should get feedback from the community about the technical relevance,
> correctness, the visual presentation, the ease of explanation etc.
> etc. in order to provide you (the editor) an opportunity to improve
> your article on community feedback. We hope to come up with higher
> quality articles that way (four eyes recognize more than just two) and
Err, s/and/and to get rid of

> the general former approach with the "sighted" flag that everyone
> could just jump in and provide semi-professional or in the worst case
> plain wrong information as openSUSE documentation. We try to achieve
> an overall quality improvement here just by implementing a reviewing +
> approval process.
