Hi Neville,

Truth to be said, I'd never even thought of some of the things you've said. But I believe that instead of finding the "right place"
for some information to be held, we could just think about why a person would want to visit a particular wiki or website and make the experience the user has with the wiki as entertaining as possible. For example,
I was going through the release statements of previous fedora versions and I loved the effort put in into F17 : here
while compared to that of F22 : here because it's much more fun. So hopefully, this time, we ca make the release announcement awesome AND entertaining. :D

I am side tracking here, sorry. But at Flock there was a interesting
talk between wiki team and docs team, which I started by a dumb
question that I made. Which is wiki team objective? This goes back that
we have some how-to in the wiki that should go to docs and some scratch
pads that should go to "what_ever_scratch_collaborative_tool_is_good".
The reason is that there was a lot of work needed in wiki gardening and
maybe we should not piling up more stuff that later will fall into wiki
gardening (old pages, pages that need love, pages that has no links,
and so on...).

This lead to the idea of a wiki tagging effort of good how-to pages
that should become a part of docs. But leaved the idea of scratch-pad
holding without any answer.

Thinking from the other side, when a person from outside fedora comes
to wiki landscape finds some info about proposal of software that will
be included at some version with tips at that time, but no follow upfor
new versions. He or she will find also some internal fedora procedures.
So, wiki is a complex mix between wonderful info, cross-reference,
historical facts and random stuff.

I wonder, it is a task for commops to find a better way to direct our
efforts to put things in the right place, so public can find them more
easily? What should go to wiki? What should go to a scratch-pad? What
should go to calendar?

Neville
