Gentoo Christens Shiny New Wiki

The Gentoo project today announced the official Gentoo Wiki. This step has been a long time coming. When disaster took out most of the volunteer wiki several years ago, a big hole was left. This hole has now been filled by a "herd of proper Gentoo developers."

The Gentoo project runs on its documentation. The Gentoo Handbook is indispensable for getting Gentoo up and running properly, but for issues beyond what's covered in the Handbook a well stocked wiki is ideal. Documentation at the Gentoo Wiki is still a bit sparse right now, but volunteers are invited to contribute.

The basics are in place: broad categories, alphabetized subcategories, further subcategories if needed, and a few pages. Some "getting started" information is available for those who might like to contribute as well as recent Wiki news.

So, go check it out.

Cool, always up for a new challenge. With a good wiki and the handbook, now maybe the time have to a play.

When disaster struck the community wiki several years ago, the community stepped in and recovered most of the content: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com (until fairly recently there was a static copy of the old wiki recreated from Google cache - that has disappeared now but the vast majority of useful content had already been copied back to the actual wiki anyway)
