people searching to help shouldn't go to the wiki. The LDP home page
is where there must go (and where google send them).
I don't see the wiki as a general purpose entry point (not a
wikipedia), but only as a LDP bugzilla, author blackboard where
authors can (if they want) begin to work.

no. the wiki could even be made robot free

yes I do. I don't want anybody being able to change HOWTO just because
they don't like the style or simply think there is some better way of
thinking. I would even like to have the HOWTO page (if any) restricted
to be written only by the author, and a discussion page (or sub page,
I don't know how moinmoin handle it) for anybody enter fixes. Having
an author for a HOWTO is basically a good thing.
it's even possible to write the password on the main wiki page (to
edit a page, type "editor").
of course this is my own feeling, it may not be the LDP one:-)
