I created the documentation guidelines page too :) But that's for ppl that can actually contribute in the documentation. Not for ppl that as missing or not understanding some documentation.
everyone can contribute, you make it sound like only some people are allowed and others cant. Maybe that is my misunderstanding when you constantly refer to people who cant edit documentation but can edit some other page on the wiki.
In the original I read can't = People who don't [yet] have the knowledge necessary to contribute to the documentation and therefore can't add anything to it and not can't = People who are restrained by administrative controls on the wiki. Speaking just for myself, mind you, I find documentation written by those without knowledge, or without clue, or complete lack of writing skills, tends to be unenlightening. If someone who is trying to figure out what it all means, gathering knowledge and clue best he can, decides he has nothing to add yet other than questions (and he suspects that they're not even very clever questions quite yet), might he not feel just a little shy about "defacing" the documentation? Allow people to self-select out of editing the documentation while still participating. --Jon Radel
