@EarthMind said in What's the point about the wiki?:
So can anyone tell me, what is the point of the Antergos wiki and what kind of info should be put on there and when on the Arch wiki?
After asking on the Arch forum and IRC. It seem that we can’t put anything in the Arch wiki.
At least for most active Arch users.
The main points is:
- I haven’t installed everything by myself so I can’t reliably tell if my issues aren’t my setup’s fault and would also happen on Arch
I also fell that’s it’s a bit «Antergos is not Arch, end of story». Unfortunately my request for feedback on my draft article has been put in the forum’s bin and deleted since…
So I can’t cite the negative feedback that I got.
Oh, I’ve found the feedback I got on IRC:
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487852037619860nmaZw:matrix.org
install archlinux or go to #antergos
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487852066620003gHhQS:matrix.org
if the laptop issues are reproducible on archlinux, feel free to create an article on the wiki. if you haven’t tried it with arch, there’s no point
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487852260620989QOBsv:matrix.org
I don’t see anything negative, just informing you that different distributions aren’t really catered for
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487852360621588AKHOm:matrix.org
TBF, it does come off as negative. think of putting in work writing something in the hope of helping a wide audience and then being told to take it elsewhere…
not that the response is incorrect, but it could potentially come off as negative
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487852456622107oiGaM:matrix.org
by definition, what’s relevant to arch users is what happens on arch
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487853194626647LfqcD:matrix.org
don’t take it personally, it’s mostly an automated response these days with how many other non-arch related topics they have to deal with
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487853489628454NFyAF:matrix.org
they also have their own repositories now and we have no idea on what kinds of things they configure that may be relevant or not to those issues
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487854243633523ddQbY:matrix.org
How do you know if the issues are not antergos specific? Are you actually aware of all the modifications antergos does to your system?
https://riot.im/app/#/room/#freenode_#archlinux:matrix.org/$1487855332640831LPzvY:matrix.org
I don’t care about antegros
So it’s not all negative and are there are reasons. Maybe it wasn’t very diplomatic but anyway I’m obviously biased here.
I’m sorry if I ended up polluting the Arch community and caused that Antergos users will be rejected a bit more in the future because of me.
