Just ask for help looking after the wiki then.
That's not funny. I've been asking this list periodically for help looking after the wiki, since before it appeared in December 2001.
You never took up my offer of help, *shrug*, and it looks like you are wanting to troll+flame me again. How helpful. I note that you like to flame my opinions and suggestions but not other peoples. I think you need to stop taking this so personally and grow up and stop acting like a child and try to be a bit more constructive. I'm sure that whatever my opinion is you will decide to flame it just because you don't like me.
Why is it the professional sysadmins who are complaining loudest about the site? Surely you should have fewer problems with patches and maintainers than the writers who have successfully contributed to the site? I don't think this is about practical editing. I think this is about lust for shiny new toys, control and flaming someone you don't like. Please use something other than the core ALUG info pages as your plaything.
Sorry? I just want to be able to edit the site, many of my edits that have been sent to the person at the top have never been replied to or dealt with, when queried the maintainer had "email problems" or "was too busy". I have in the past helped others with the way the site was built etc. but I'd like to see a new easier system that doesn't take days or longer (sometimes never) to see updates to the site.
I'm trying to make a suggestion and give an opinion so we can work around those problems and get *more* people involved. Your "control" suggestion is quite funny, as at the moment it seems that you are more worried that you will lose "control" of the core pages to others who you don't think worthy or capable of editing them.
Now can you please stop ranting and try to stop causing nastiness on the Alug mailing list and think of ways we can move forwards instead of trying to carry out a personal vendetta?
Thanks Adam
