The scope of my email was "discussion pages related to DebianWiki" only.
I've updated all those page now.
I also think the wiki shouldn't have any discussion page, for the
reasons listed previously.
A big link on the frontpage to a "Getting help" page (pointing to user
oriented mailing-lists, IRC channels and some fine manuals...) would be
a good replacement, IMHO. see DebianResources.
... but it isn't on my priority list (i.e I won't do it myself / now)
Your contribution is welcome, obviously.
