That's worth a lot. > 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. As far as "free for all" is concerned, the contrast is between the wiki and www.debian.org. If one contrasts our wiki guidance wuth that given for Ubuntu and Arch Linux, there are significant differences. Given that, the editors who work on our wiki are remarkably self-disciplined and the quality of pages is good. (The translation effort should be noted and applauded here). AFAICT, there isn't any formal central authority for wiki management in Debian. That's not a complainte, but it does raise the question of where an editor turns to for discussion of an issue. I am glad this issue has been resolved to the benefit of users and editors. -- Brian.
