[gentoo-dev] User contributed documentation

[Heinrich Wendel]

Hi,

I had a short discussion about this on irc with swift, but as he says this 
topic has never really been discussed, I want to post it here as well.

If you take a look at the "Documentatin, Tips & Tricks" section on 
forums.gentoo.org you can find a lot of usefull documentation about several 
parts of gentoo. I also submitted a doc (LTSP-Guide) before i became dev and 
this is now hosted by swift (http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/), because there 
are no policies to bring this on the official gentoo page.
I propose to add a "User contributed documentation" - section to the gentoo 
docs page, where such things can be hosted, they would be somehow maintained 
by the authors.

mfg, Heinrich :)

Sounds like a Wiki candidate for me...

There is already a WiKi-solution in the make; however, this WiKi is not for
final documents but intermediate developer documents. In other words, the
WiKi will be used to developer documents of the developer wants to use WiKi,
and then transformed into GuideXML.

Please continue this thread on gentoo-doc@gentoo.org.
