[ovirt-users] Lowering the bar for wiki contribution?

[Andrea Ghelardi]

I once tried to edit a broken link in current documentation and lost hope after 10 minutes of efforts.

Being a sysadmin, I understand the fear of unknown/untrusted people accessing stuff and performing uncontrolled changes, but generally speaking I believe the majority of this community is not driven by 10y old cracker attitudes: I trust that the additional value provided by people will greatly overcome a few typos and errors.

+1
Cheers
AG

+1, github's contribution workflow is terrible and doesn't make any
sense for wiki pages.
