The LinuxWiki on linuxwiki.riverworth.com could be the main TLDP wiki.
Only a link to the page is needed.
The advantages:
- Linux wiki make the review process faster. (the review is the bottleneck
now at the TLDP)
- It is public available.
- It can be easy managed.
The main disadvantage that i see is the quality of the documents.
But the Wiki could host the amateur documentation but the serious
documentations will still be the TLDP HOWTOs.
The main difference is that the HOWTOs are reviewed and verified but the
Wiki is public available.
I think the documentation on Wiki will increase its amount every day.
So, LinuxWiki is good idea for the first level of HOWTO publishing...
