(yes, i know it's a wiki that one can edit, but i don't think i have the background yet, hence the asking.)
poking around control groups and found the fedoraproject wiki page for control groups:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ControlGroups
which seems *way* out of date, as in:
* no mention of newer libcgroup-tools package for userspace * incomplete list of userspace tools
etc, etc. is there any concerted effort to keep fedora wiki pages up to date? thoughts?

That is a feature proposal page for Fedora 11 to coordinate a new feature at that time. There is no reason for it to be updated now once that feature is already merged.

after you *read* the page, yes, you can see that that's what it represents. but if one uses google, look what shows up as the very first hit:
https://www.google.ca/search?q=fedoraproject+wiki+control+groups&ie=utf-...
if something is that out of date, it's kind of inappropriate to be sucking up all the google oxygen in the room, don't you think?

Fedora is a project with public coordination and Google will pick up some of that historical content. I wouldn't worry much about that. What it does show is that perhaps end user content on the front is missing and the best way to solve that problem is creating a wiki page or Ask Fedora post that addresses that topic and making sure it is widely referenced by making it useful.

No, there certainly isn't. The wiki is a big mess. Some sections of it are carefully curated, while others are not, and there's really no way to tell which is which.
If you find something which is clearly out of date, it doesn't hurt at all to put a bold section at the top saying something like "This page covers a feature for Fedora 11 and is not current." Ideally with "For updated information on this topic, see....".
(Maybe there is a template for this? Not sure.)
