Sure any public person can post junk to wiki and that is just what is wrong with it for official handbook. There would be no peer review of info for correctness. There is no single person who knows everything about FreeBSD and has time to review all the personal opinions posted to some wiki. And if you search this questions archives you will see that there is all ready an wiki for FreeBSD and it has very little activity. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Benjamin Keating Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 8:29 PM To: Kris Kennaway Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: The FreeBSD Handbook, in Wiki form. A wiki would eliminate that bottle neck (PR). Some parts are out of date. Others fail to mention FAQ , etc. that could really help. For instance, the NAT/DHCP articles could easily include a 'typical home user' HOWTO rather then tricking the user into reading that one line where it says you have to recompile your kernel with IPFIREWALL support. Things like that bring noise to this mailing list. Idon't know about you but I'd rather just add my new found info to the site rather find a PR addy, submit it and wait for it to be added. We have software that does this now. Lets use it! :) - bpk On 5/3/05, Kris Kennaway <kris@obsecurity.org> wrote: > On Tue, May 03, 2005 at 05:00:06PM -0700, Benjamin Keating wrote: > > Is there anything being done to help keep the handbook just a little > > more updated?
