		+	although the freebsd.org handbook is truly excellent, it can be a bit of a bear to find information in. I don't follow any of the freebsd.org lists (except security and sparc) so I can't really say anything to how their wiki's working out. I know when this wiki was started, the freebsd.org wiki was pretty new and only a few folks had write-access. arguably, strict write controls are a good thing for documentation efforts but the fact is that it's taken them a long time to get it going and the only wiki that i can find easily on the website is the [[http://wikitest.freebsd.org/ developer's wiki]] which is not really ideal or useful for your average freebsd user/admin. I personally find the handbook's approach to documentation to be a bit dry and hard to get through, not to mention a bit tough to navigate through, which is why I prefer this bsdwiki. --[[User:Dave\|Dave]] 16:20, 25 Dec 2005 (EST)

-There seems to be substantial resistance to an official wiki in freebsd-doc@freebsd.org . There are others who fully support the idea though. Sadly, the objection seems to be the wiki markup system, so they are unlikely to be convinced easily. For the moment I intend to slowly expand out sections that I see brought up often on Questions, and see how it goes.

	Sorry Mr. Dave, I was just seeing how the wikiing works as I am a wiki newbie, as it were. BTW, love the idea of a freebsd wiki. Any word on if this will become official or officially recognised?
