To answer the administrator question, the answer is YES.

In other words, somebody has to maintain the infrastructure/application and also somebody needs to maintain or administer the WIKI itself. They are not self maintaining, especially in the area or organizing and establishing a structure to the information layouts.

I think youre missing my point, or im missing yours. I do not see why "somebody" necessarily has to be only one person.

I'm with undertow here.

Personally I think the blogs are not working out well. it's a good idea, but most posts, particularly recent posts, have been technical questions that would be better served in the forums. The blog software itself is lacking, since it does not handle preformatted text very well...that's something i think is essential for posting commands, scripts, and code. It might not be needed for general blogs, but when its focus is linux you should expect that a lot of what is posted would be code.

Don't get me wrong, I like WIKIs and think that they are the correct tool for this job.

However, I don't see a bunch of people here chomping at the bit to do the actual WORK involved.

I'd like to be proven wrong, but so far the only contributions that I have seen are "suggestions".
