Description Kalle Richter 2017-06-04 14:27:02 UTC
Wanting to report a minor improvement to the PPC installation handbook, I entered bug.gentoo.org and noticed that it's hard to find the correct project/category for entering issues about the wiki/handbook because the words "handbook" and "wiki" don't occur on the page, yet are an important part of using gentoo afaiu, and both documentation categories "Doc Translations: 	All documents not in English on www.gentoo.org" and "Documentation: 	Documentation other than Wiki and translations." contradict matching the handbook and other categories don't seem to apply.

I believe the preferred method for wiki requests is to edit the associated "Talk" page on the wiki.

I didn't think about that. However, I just registered and saw that its a Mediawiki-based or -similar software which does not allow issue tracking of any kind because it misses separation of issues and state tracking which makes it usually unnecessarily annoying to contribute to a page and the discussion about it[1].

Since few people see this and you probably won't develop a usable wiki software and then change the system, it's fine to add a hint on the bug tracker overview page. I'd appreciated if the bug tracker would remain open for Wiki enhancement requests, though, because there's no other usable system around currently from the point of view described above.

[1] The fact that Wikipedia was create and (still) somehow works is ok, but make one easily sad if you think about the time being wasted and the unfindable contributions on the discussion pages.

There is now a handbook@g.o account in bugzilla to which bugs may be assigned.

Could we please add a "Handbook" component under the "Documentation" product?

Added.  Please check if that works for you.
