Please make possible to link translated pages in the wiki from the base website or make software to detect automatically localized 
pages in wiki!
E.g. from http://fedoraproject.org/bg/get-help        to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ/bg#How_do_I_install_new_software_on_Fedora.3F_Is_there_anything_like_APT.3F

Best regards

| Please see previous emails. Again, here are some reasons to move to the wiki:
|
| - Wiki receives new content quickly (most times right away).
| - Docs-based TQSG has outdated content which isn't revoved/updated quickly
|  (note: wiki has this issue as well).
| - Wiki has lots of content which was never on the TQSG, such as the FAQ,
|  Maintainer guide, list of important modules etc.
| - Maintaining two sets of docs leads to inconsistencies.
|
| The above issues are proven by history and happen mainly due to having very few
| volunteers with little time. We have requested for new volunteers repeatedly
| with no luck.
|
| Let's get things done folks.
|
| Here are some *wrong* reasons to sacrifice above points to stay on TQSG:
|
| - Translations: Not important, wiki works well for 95% of cases.
| - PDF/ePub: Not important, wiki works well for 95% of cases.
| - We have found one new volunteer today who promises to keep it updated.
| - It's what we currently have.
| - It's pretty.
| - We have static docs tech, we should use it!!!1!
|
| Yet another bikeshed thread?
