The wiki is really coming along in terms of content well. I am very happy to be part of the team and my thanks to the contributors who've spent their valuable time in developing content.
It will get easier as we go along, though. The initial period of a project like this is always chaotic. I sent a link to the list about The Five Stages of Project Team Development. Alien Bob mentioned somewhere today that they covered this in his training class recently. I have done project management work (in residential development). That process of team development is very interesting. It's all psychology 101, basically, but very accurate. Knowing how a team will develop helps the members to recognize what stages they are in and what they need to do personally and as a team member to proceed to the next stage.
Slackware is my primary operating system, therefore be sure to check the generic how-tos and journal entries too, which can be revised to focus on Slackware.
I don't have the time to join the wiki project, and won't in the foreseeable future, so others will need to grab them.
All I ask is any article used is credited to me as the original author. As stated at the web site, any associated scripts are free/libre software. I understand the creative commons license used at the wiki.
By the end of the year I expect either to shut down the web site or overhaul with a serious reduction. So grab now while you can.
