[documentation] does this seem funny to anyone else?

[Peter Wolanin]

Ricco,

We very much welcome your help on the docs team, so I hope you will
join and contribute.

As a g.d.o moderator - a group aimed at improving (generally)
wiki-type functionality in Drupal (e.g. various content filters) and
maybe making a "Wiki" distribution would be likely to get approved.

There is already a system for the drupal.org docs, and many different
ideas about how it might be improved.  A new g.d.o group would not be
appropriate (imho) if it's focused on this.  This list and/or the
appropriate issue queues on drupal.org would be the places to have
those discussions.

Also, the hurdle for installing new modules on drupal.org is very high
(due to security review and much greater infrastructure concerns)
compared to g.d.o, so as a point of information, a bunch of additional
modules are not going to be deployed on d.o on any short time scale.

-Peter

Subject: [documentation] does this seem funny to anyone else?

lol... this kind of cracks me up. In a frustrating kind of way :)

Instead of getting OKed to create about the 265th group,
http://groups.drupal.org/WikiHelp
1) to promote the wiki content type
2) that can be edited with one click
3) and promote [[freelinking]] syntax

The recommendation seems to be;

1) join the Drupal doc team which is somewhat difficult to find and join,
and make changes that others will not be able to change unless they also
join the drupal doc team, which again, is not even know by most people.

2) so that I can make content type BOOK page that I do not want to promote
instead of the content type WIKI content type that I do

3) and use a syntax I don't want to promote, FILTERED HTML, instead of the
FREELINKING syntax I want to promote.

4) to build pages that anyone that views them will never be able to change
with one click (like wiki pages), and will probably never realize they
might also be able to change, if they can find how to join the doc team
themselves, and wanted to take the time to do so. So I am not building a
community where people EASILY change pages I have started

5) So that that I can build karma with Drupal

6) so that Drupal might consider changing their system to add allow wiki
content types on drupal.org some day

7) so that I can do what groups.drupal.org does today and I have already
created in working form.


Does this seem kind of funny to anyone else?

Cheers! Ricco
