The current process is not as easily updated but its has a high quality review which is good. I'd hope for a solution that lets people add new content but maybe have it not show up immediatley and have it reviewed like 'sponsored uploads' thus ensuring that it meets Debian standards. IIRC there are folks who are responsible for Debian web content and Debian user documentation -- maybe have them involved? cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
