Hi Rahu,
Thank you for your suggestion, others have also reported that. IMHO,
"Wiki" sounds more like "database" rather than "Wanna
contribute, go
here". It is better to directly send people at the main wiki entrance
(How to contribute, Who contributes) than to the "Wiki" (in general).
I don't go to the wiki to contribute. I go to the wiki to find out how
to do things. I think the issue is that how to do that is lost on the
front page. Plus a person who wants to contribute can't just go to the
wiki to do so. They will have to a) make a FAS account, b) sign the
CLA, c) get approved, d) add a group, then they can contribute.
How can we better communicate all that?
