I do agree that quality shouldn't suffer but than we do have a lot of out-of-date docs, Arch wiki being much better than our own etc etc. We need to improve the quality overall and make it more accessible to everyone and that includes people who use modern workflows/moder views/designs etc. Or run a huge global survey what people want to see from Debian... >>>> Well Debian on its page doesn't mention it is Linux based or has >>>> Linux kernel or at all word Linux. >>> We have Linux, HURD and the FreeBSD kernel, though.
