I agree.
User-provided docs should still be posted on wiki.netbsd.se, because
wiki.netbsd.org should contain closely os-related docs.

But hey, why not linking somehow wiki.netbsd.se and wiki.netbsd.org ?
I mean, once a page has reached a substantial quality level, merge it
into the wiki.netbsd.org tree.

Pages would then be edited only on wiki.netbsd.org and original pages
on wiki.netbsd.se should contain only a link to netbsd.org's new one.

Wiki.netbsd.org would become then a "staging area" for pages under
work in progress, and this is not so bad in my opinion.


I mean: we should keep in mind that NetBSD project wants to keep its
documentation at a high level of quality, and then not everything can
be publicly written on a publicly accessible wiki.

We need a "staging area", something like an approval system.

About the open editing for everyone... Uhm... Yes, it works for other
projects, but some pages (often pages about rare topics) often
contains a technically low content... Something like: "type this
command, open this file, search this line, copy here, paste
there... YOU GOT IT!!" which is what NetBSD does NOT do, but it is
good (as it may seems straightforward) to be publishied on
user-to-user websites like wiki.netbsd.org.


Just my two cents =)
