Really worried about the documentation area as a whole, and the wiki particularly. It's really difficult to find what you search for if you don't know your way. Modern thinking about documentation is very different than the traditional "installation guide/reference guide" sort of stuff.
Most users don't want to read a user guide from cover to cover these days - they want help for the task at hand, rather than to try to absorb a firehose of information all at once from a guide and then to try to apply it to a live system.
[pruned] Wrong! :-) You are not listening. You are proffering *your* ideas on what *you* believe people *should* be doing - or what should occur for *you* to find it more convenient for yourself :-) . The above was from a FWD post which is telling everyone what the people at the "receiving end" - "the sharp end of the stick" - are feeling, thinking, expressing, and wanting. I have read some parts of the openSUSE "wiki" when looking for information and I find it to be semi-literate in nature, too small in print, and "all over the place" when trying to find information. And is ancient history, not current to what is "now". (And, of course, now I will be asked to provide examples of what "is ancient history" - sigh :-( .) If you want to see what I consider to be most helpful documentation on a Linux distribution have a look at the ones for Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community and especially: https://launchpad.net/ Both clearly set-out, in easy to read font.
