Re: aims of the wiki?
I agree with you about the principles, but I think it's very hard to
articulate them. At some level of abstraction the Wiki should be a
platform for people in the Debian community to publish relevant content.
"Relevant" is load-bearing there, but I don't think we want to be too
proscriptive, and rule out a future use that we haven't imagined.
3. documentation of generic linux things (are these really that
useful?) - [[systemd]], [[Hardware]], [[SymLink]], even [[FrontPage]]
I concur that in the general case these are not very useful, unless they
have some kind of Debian-specific information, or are of an
exceptionally high quality. The value of the Arch wiki to non-Arch users
is because there is generic content there of a high quality. I don't
think we should set out to "compete" with the Arch wiki in that respect,
but I also don't think we should try and prevent people from writing
high quality, generic content if that's what they want to do.
Please, let's keep this discussion going.
