This wiki is a support and documentation resource for the [http://www.debian.org/ 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 [:Glossary#DD:DD]s.
- Content should be useful (especially written is 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:
