There is a posting in the CentOS forum that can potentially make a good article regarding encryption (or supplement the existing page). Please take a look at #4 of: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=15923&forum=42 The poster says, "I think that the contents of this document would make a good addition to the wiki, but I don't have the ability to submit such things and probably would not be a consistent enough contributer to get said rights." What do others think? Is this something we should consider placing on the wiki? If so, should we persuade this person to submit the writing? Akemi

(2) Subject to satisfactory peer-review and testing, I feel that would become a useful Wiki article. (3) If it passes #2 then yes, we should attempt to convince the OP to contribute (IMO).

I feel sad if people think they cannot contribute, or that their contribution would not be enough to get rights. In any case we should clear up that confusion for everyone that reads the forum message in the future. And make it easier for people to contribute. PS Today I added 2 small comments in the Pidgin FAQ to explain how people can add environment variables to Windows XP, I just registered and edited the FAQ because the FAQ did not specify *how* to set PIDGINLANG on Windows. It was a 60sec job. -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
