Hi -
I've signed up to add some stuff to the wiki.
My username is jkinz
First items i want to add to the wiki are:
#1 - some notes about how to use Perl and cpan on Centos
proabbly in section 16 on the how to page.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos
#2 - on the contribute page:
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos
where it says :
# Create a login with a username in the format FirstnameLastname
I want to add info about where they go to create a login.
"Click on the 'register' tab on the Centos.org home
page."

Don't 2. Package it If a 'unknown' person wants posting authorization, I think it is probably a good idea to submit a proposed sample along with the request I come back to the thought that people need to consider WHY something needs to be docoed yet again. We are only building a corpus subject to entropy (aka 'webrot') by writing 'CentOS' versions of explanations of common topics; IF, and really, only if the CentOS solution is somehow undocumented in the existing materials, it MAY be worth stitching in new wiki content and Forum posts [one assumes locked against further addition, and therefor not editable by non-'high rights uses'] (Forum posts sadly have the shelf life of a fish in many cases). Otherwise, all we make is busywork to rip out, re-write, maintain, and refactor as times change. -- Russ herrold
