-''I wonder whether all these should really be on the wiki. What is the rationale? I can't see any useful purpose of having local copies. First of all most of our copies
are very poorly adapted to wiki markup
, to the point of rendering them completely useless. Even if that were resolved, they're still bound to go out of synch with the originals, either because they get outdated as the principal version of the HOWTO is updated or
due to editing on the wiki. And in any case, even if that weren't a concern, it doesn't make much sense to put HOWTOs in a wiki as the two concepts have completely contrary strengths. Wiki thrives on synergy of pages, while a HOWTO aims to be a conclusive cookbook. It would be too much work to fix up all our local copies -- for no gain at all. TLDP works well enough as a central HOWTO repository. Personally, I vote for ridding the wiki of
the HOWTO copies. --AristotlePagaltzis''
+The HOWTOs mirrored here from [TLDP] and other sources
are being removed
, due to the following concerns:
-----
+* Most of them are so poorly adapted to wiki markup that they are completely useless.
+* They're bound to go out of synch with the originals, either because they get outdated as the principal version of the HOWTO is updated or due to editing on the wiki. Changes on the wiki will not propagate upstream either.
+* It doesn't make much sense to put HOWTOs in a wiki as the two concepts have completely contrary strengths. Wiki thrives on synergy of pages, while a HOWTO aims to be a conclusive cookbook.
