Hi Sylvain,
I think that is a great idea but I'd have a few caveats: what if someone
put malicous code in a page (e.g. the equivilant of 'rm -rf /') and a
user damaged their system by running it? The current process is not as
easily updated but its has a high quality review which is good. I'd hope
for a solution that lets people add new content but maybe have it not
show up immediatley and have it reviewed like 'sponsored uploads' thus
ensuring that it meets Debian standards. IIRC there are folks who are
responsible for Debian web content and Debian user documentation --
maybe have them involved?
cheers,
Kev
