For what it's worth - I had a check on IRC in debian-www The wiki isn't as tightly policed and is more of a free for all: if you see something that's wrong, you can change it. There's a creative tension between what should sit on the wiki / what should be on www.debian.org. I also had a quick chat with Paul on IRC He'd forgotten about the change: it was that long ago. He did make the point that it seemed sensible to centre it on SourcesList for him: it's no huge matter since anything can be changed. Each set of release notes also has the sources.list stanzas in it, I think, and if you're coming from updating older releases, you'd be looking to the next set of release notes anyway to see what's changed, ideally. There Is No Cabal - this isn't quite Wikipedia with policies, edit wars and badged issues police, at least as far as the wiki's concerned. www.d.o is a bit tighter - not least because well-intentioned edits cause havoc with the good folk who do translations and there's a defined process so that they don't end up having to re-edit tens of pages for a tiny fix on a URL, for example. [Been there, caused that, got the T shirt] This list has a bunch of varying experience and expertise - all of it is valuable and valued. All the very best, as ever, to all Andy Cater
