I'd like to put forth a proposal to SuSE and the folks on this list (who obviously include knowledgeable SuSEers) that SuSE create a self-maintaining user knowledge base with the same structure as SuSE's own database. Users could contribute articles to it having the same structure (including, in particular, keywords) as those in SuSE's own database. It could be surrounded by as many disclaimers as desired that the knowledge is not in any way guaranteed by SuSE and SuSE is not responsible for the accuracy or correctness of the knowledge therein.
such a knowledge base exists why not join forces rather then recreating the wheel :-)
Well, Togan, I think you and I should be discussing that very issue. The Linux Tutorial provides a great many features that allow easy access to knowledge and well as a great deal of content. One thing that is missing is a way to access the information "topically", such as the way you FAQ does. However, we are already working on that. As I mentioned, another thing that we are working on is the ability for users to add new material. We have decided that you really need an approval process for that. Since Togan has been running the FAQ , I think he would be a good choice for an approver/administrator. (One among several) We have also been discussing a couple different mechanisms to add new material. So, take a look at the site and let me know what you think. I firmly believe that we should join forces. We are both repeating content as well as effort and that does no one any good.
