I agree 100%

IMHO discussion should best take place on this docs discussion mailing
list, not within the docs themselves.

If you feel a paragraph/doc is broken, feel free to fix it - that's the
purpose of a Wiki. If you simply want to point out that a paragraph/doc
is broken, raise it here for discussion on how/who best to fix it.

I feel much the same way about this edit:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/postfix_sasl?action=diff&rev2=22&rev1=21

It adds nothing to the document and merely leaves the target audience
confused. If there's a simpler/better way then take 5 minutes to edit
the document to make that change.

Let me add my 100% agreement. Queries and comments within the Wiki
articles will only confuse and frustrate Wiki readers. centos-docs is
the correct venue for such communications.

You all agree all you want

'single point of truth' and agile techniques will happily
ignore you. So will I

An excellent and constructive idea.
