FWIW I do like editing wikis - certainly more than I like editing things written in DocBook at least. It's true our wiki contains a *lot* of outdated or incomplete information. We could do a lot just by marking pages as out-of-date or irrelevant (via categories?) and then updating or deleting them assuming people agree. I'm happy to start working on this assuming we aren't going to throw the whole thing out. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
