>The benefit would be to make it easier to contribute the website
I really agree. Most people today use wikis of some sort. As someone new to the team working on debian pages, I admit the learning curve is a little bit intimidating. Never the less, after a few weeks I managed to get it right (I think).
It a system like this will help on a few levels:
-It makes it easier to contribute as a user.
-It takes the burden of other people submitting my patches.
-It make the project less hard to accept into, hence helping more potential contributors.
on the other hand:
- this could cause a really low level of quality control. I can give an example from Ubuntu. I used to contribute translations there. But after a while I couldn't keep up with a lot of really young enthusiastic teen agers who contribute tons of low-level and low quality translations.
Ubuntu may be 90% translated to Hebrew, but for the common user this hebrew will be very weird and not appealing which creates a feeling the whole Ubuntu is looks like that. Most, people I know therefore use their Ubuntu system in English...
Never the less, with this long warning. I think this is a great idea, but it steel needs some kind of a control and review before changes on the webinterface for wml appear on the main web pages...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
