Though this could be that I feel much more disconnected to the project lately as I find out "new" things simply through running into difficulties with working setups on upgrade. As a side, what happened to the Debian news weekly? I felt like I used to keep my finger on the pulse... As you've said, arch and gentoo both have very excellent wikis, though that could simply be a result of having a wiki system available much earlier than the debian project (from what I remember). Thus much more user-centric content. Maybe the IRC bot used in the #debian channels can be set to link to information in the wiki more often to encourage heavier use? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
