The wiki at netbsd.se is not maintained by the NetBSD Project; its
content is solely the responsibility of its maintainers.  One reason
for this, historically, has been that various projects by users to
produce supplementary documentation for NetBSD have resulted in
documentation of inconsistent quality, sometimes including statements
that are just plain wrong.  Since you seem dissatisfied with the quality
of the official NetBSD documentation, which is pretty carefully checked
over, you can probably understand our motivations here.

Where there are mistakes on the official Project pages at www.netbsd.org,
we'd love to hear about them.  If there is material in the wiki that you
think should be included on the port pages at www.netbsd.org, you should
bring it to the attention of www@netbsd.org and the portmaster for the
port in question, so they can decide whether it should be added to the
www.netbsd.org site.
