Please do explain.
There was already a recent discussion about whether
classiccmp should have a wiki, and the concensus was "not at this time" as
Jay already noted.
In your opinion, was the discussion "should have" or "should become"
a
wiki? I'm not clear on that.
Those people should sign off from their email and go
add
something constructive to the KB instead of critizing what Jay and others
have already done for it.
I didn't hear anyone criticizing what has been done, sorry.
It's the fault of users, not the underlying
technology, if nobody adds to the database -- no amount of CMS or wiki or
anything else will help with that.
I think we disagree on that point. I find when ever I am blaming "the
users" it's really that I didn't understand the model the users were
prone to be happy with. Just my limited experience with user interface,
mind you, but people tend to use things that mesh with their desires and
expectations. (and I find my kids don't suddenly become motivated when
I yell at them)
