This wiki is a support and documentation resource for the Debian project, as well as a means of communication between developers. |
The above sentence, on the FrontPage, defines pretty well what this wiki is about, but here are some extra hints.
- Content should be about Debian!
Content may be intended for users of Debian or for DDs.
- Content should be useful (especially written in a usable way)
Content should be legal (the usual issues: be compliant with the law; respect copyright and licensing; protect childhood; don't be defamatory; and so on - cf. http://www.bath.ac.uk/internal/web/legal/)
Some kinds of content already have homes elsewhere:
Debian Official Documentation is on http://www.debian.org/doc/
Information about Debian Packages is on http://packages.debian.org/
Debian Bugs are on http://bugs.debian.org/
Discussions are best suited to http://debian.org/MailingLists/
