Sorry about the google ads and the standard logo, disadvantage of using a free wiki host :(

hi.

what exactly is the idea of that wiki? there are so many debian / linux related wikis around where can people contribute to, such as http://wiki.debian.org/
why is it called "user site" and the wiki.debian.org a developer site?

http://www.debianguide.org/wiki/moin.cgi/FrontPage
e.g. targets users as well.

also http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Debian
covers lots of basic stuff.
debian squeeze for everyday life, many other versions for the rest

1. wiki.d.o has a user section but it is quite small and most of the wiki is developer related stuff.
2. wiki.d.o is MoinMoin, and when most people think wiki they think Wikipedia/MediaWiki.
3. The LQ wiki is good, just not Debian-specific enough. My wiki is supposed to be more tutorial style, not just a collection of random articles.
