I do appreciate all the help we can get to expand documentation and keep things up to date. I just don't think a generic wiki page makes for a good first impression when someone looks for a project. It's not just the content, it's the appearance. A few glossy images and a first-time-visitor-specific layout makes a big difference. (and the pcb project page, at least, is also in git so those who want to contribute to it may) > where maintenance is large to combat site defacing by spammers and > vandals. I disabled the registration page completely. There were - literally - thousands of new signups each day. All new wiki contributors currently need an admin to create the account for them. I'm not trying to discourage contributors, it's just the only way to stop the spammers.
