Re: [orca-list] started a new wiki for orca documentation

["Mitchell Smith" <mjsotn gmail com>]

Hi,

Firstly I would like to say that I think any efforts towards Orca 
documentation are to be commended, and I would hate to do anything to 
discourage further progress, however I can't help thinking a second wiki is 
probably a bad idea.

There is already a wiki dedicated to Orca documentation, surely it makes 
sense to keep all documentation in one place.

I can see a situation where one wiki will have a more up-to-date document 
than the other, or where conflicting information is published across wikis, 
or where the same document exists on both wikis both with different user 
revisions.

Maybe a better solution would be to look at the workflow of the existing 
wiki, so that it can address some of the perceived problems that this new 
wiki aims to solve.

Just my $0.02 worth.

Mitch
