What about availability of offline tools to work in a WYSIWYG or WYMIWYG

Do you have an offline tool for the wiki?
No, I'm not aware.
If not, how is this relevant to our discussion?
Because the first tool that was mentioned here was vim, offline.
The beauty of this is that you can use any tool you want to. I like to use VSCode, vim, but lately I use a flatpak application called Apostrophe which I love. If you want to write in LibreOffice Writer or Notepad++ or Kate or Mousepad or Nano or whatever it is could even make a branch and add a doc on code-o-o/github and edit there. Absolutely possible to do so and nobody would "force" you to use xyz tool to write your docs/articles. Nobody is excluded.
Appreciated. My only remaining big caveat (I don't know if I'll participate writing documentation) is that I strongly think that every migrated wiki page must have an entry in the new doc listing the contributors of the original wiki page. Not a combined reference to all the contributors to the entire wiki, but those of the current page. After all, they are the ones that at least knew about the current subject and might be asked. It is the fair thing to do. And you have seen that even some board members and ex board members think similarly. Eum.... something else... could I suggest that you (plural) improve your email manners? It is something that puts seasoned people off and has been mentioned before in this thread :-) https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_list_netiquette For example, your email has a lot of quoted material, even after the small paragraph you wrote. This slows up reading and puts people a bit off. Adrien has the habit of top posting, and that is considered by many, in different degrees, as offensive, after been told. I'm aware, though, that some mail clients, specially webmail clients, make this difficult by hiding the quoted text. I'm also aware that people new to a particular mail list (or group of them) may not know the local netiquette rules. Most people are tolerant, but also most expect acceptance of the "rules" after mentioning them. I also was once a newcomer and had to adapt to the local culture. Otherwise, flames ensue. (yes, other mail lists may have different culture or netiquete) I guess you may suggest video conferencing. This poses new problems: - Finding a suitable time slot for everybody. - Not everybody is fluent in English. I am, but I have problems understanding each person accent, and it takes me a long time to adjust; meanwhile, I lose content. - Not everybody has the hardware. For example, the machine I have to use this summer is not capable of handling Jitsi (https://meet.opensuse.org), not powerful enough. - Email communication can be used anytime of the day and leaves a record. No fixed hour to be attending. No limit on attendance. - Even if recorded, video can not be searched, unless someone takes minutes (and every participant later signs them). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
