Since this idea began at the Marketing FAD, I thought I'd follow up on list.

Mostly it's just a question of incentives and making it a fun game for people to see who can meet the challenge first. That's the marketing trick here, I suppose.

"Complete 15 wiki challenges, and get some travel sponsorship to the next FUDCon in your region!"

"Complete 500 wiki challenges, and we'll send you a coupon for 20% off your carpal-tunnel surgery."

This reminds me a bit of a social networking game, something like foursquare. Maybe there's a way that people who commit those wiki edits can get credit in FAS or Fedora Community and earn points toward sponsorship to FUDCon or Fedora SWAG or something. I think we may have an idea here...

That's a nice challenge!
This reminds me, to remind everyone that our wiki genreally needs MORE love! Not only cleaning up pages and getting them up to date, but also editing with comments (I can not seem to find anyone else but me to edit with comments :( ) and also being bold on editing :)
Max, start counting my wiki challenges, because Fedora 15 is going to have my name on it ;)
Let's make our wiki shine!

I will stay out of this for now so I can focus on what I have already on the workbench.
In the future will help if I can, without looking for compensation. Though glad to see everyone got motivation.

It seems that the competitive spirit has sparked !! I would like to tackle some wiki that are not that technical. Right now selinux and custom kernels are beyond my skills... I hope future updates to the challenges bring other stuff as well.
Should this be spread to other lists?
Best regards

Neville,
When I blogged about the SWOT, I got a great email full of information regarding SELinux. If anyone wants to pick it up, I can provide all the info, some of them is compatible with our licencing, other is provided by NSA and other institutions, which can be used to write an article or whatever as long as we don't go into pelagic issues.
I can ask the person who sended me all that info to send it to someone who wants to pick up the topic.
Though I'm not an engineer, despite I understand the concept (theoretical and operational) of SELinux, and been defending it as a great feature/technology present in Fedora, I dont feel capable of taking it and really highlight it in the way it should.
SELinux is actually something we should care a bit more promoting, as it's a strategical advantage of Fedora compared to other distro's, as I mentioned before, for example Novell deploys openSuSE with SELinux disabled and AppArmor enabled, despite they are not the same, I would assume they are competitors in the segment they designed for.
+1 for SELinux.

I am not an engeneering either... There was even a fedora class room on selinux, which I did not attend because of work.
I resent that many places, the best solution offered to setup services is to turn down selinux. I think is something that technical people should try to explain better to the rest of us. Some day we shoul start looking for those places where thre ae commands for turning off selinux and comment on alternatives.
I found myself battling among selinux and automatic bug reporting tool after installing F12. I finally gave up and choose to unistall the bug tool from family computers, and turned off selinux on my computer.
