This is the Wikipedia who have large loss of Editors, and articles about people being annoyed having spent many hours time on learning the fiddly formatting, submitting an article only to find someone deleted it a little later?
This is a political problem on Wikipedia that has virtually zero to do with teh Wiki syntax or editing tools.
No it's a fundamental problem with Wiki's; someone else can re-write history, so it's often not seeingly a very useful format for the information I'm interested in. Often that is best done by "dumps" of logs and stuff that Google finds. In general for problems or answering forum questions, Google finds mail list stuff; possibly other distro's have more transparency than we do. Lots of ppl do articles on openSUSE.org and there's a problem figuring out sometimes, when they wrote it, and which releases it's relevant to, with not much to go on sometimes. 2009/12/2 Stefan Seyfried <stefan.seyfried@googlemail.com>:

Has it been made simpler since a year ago? There was a thread then, about learning "Wiki" being time consuming for hard pressed volunteer testers.
There is also an openSUSE Wiki team. If you have good content, just paste it as plain text into the wiki and ask around, you will find volunteers who will help with formatting etc.
If the content is crap, somebody of course might just delete it, rightfully so ;-)
What's "crap" to one person, may just be vital detail to someone else. As you can see above, I'd rather have something more permanent and Google-able. Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
