IMHO Debian should concentrate on providing a good system of packaged software. Other projects (such as Wikiwhatever?) should concentrate on providing good content (offline versions of this content should be available, yes, and IIRC some work is starting in that area.) Computer related content are a grey area. IMHO only content that is closely relevant to Debian should be packaged. As an example (disregarding licenses for now): many HOWTOs and (probably all) the manpages are good to have, while I think the linux gazette issues in main are superfluous. This is not to say that there can't be a repository analogous to non-free, where free non-Debian related content can be provided, to be easily installed from a Debian system. But as non-free, that wouldn't be part of Debian itself (and, since e.g. Wikipedia would be quite big, probably should have its own mirror infrastructure separate from Debian, too.) greetings -- vbi -- TODO: apt-get install signify
