I could argue it, as we did lose contributors to the docs with the transition to Antora. People absolutely struggle to contribute to our docs now. We made the change to align with RHEL in the hopes they'd contribute to our documentation, but that didn't happen either. Contributing to a wiki is significantly easier than contributing to a git controlled document that requires a separate rendering process. Now, as for Fedora Changes? That is a different story. That said, the main beef people seem to have with Changes is that they are written in wikitext rather than markdown. I rather like the real-time editing and drafting capability our wiki gives, it's particularly great for collaborating with others on a jointly submitted document. But yes, I'd prefer a markup I use more frequently than wikitext. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://forge.fedoraproject.org/infra/tickets/issues/new
