[Dovecot] WiKi V2
Hi,
small question: Will the WiKi of the version 2 be updated shortly? Many things are not right at all. This would be really very nice. Many thanks in advance.

Unfortunately putting documentation in a wiki usually just has the effect of making nobody feel like they really own it. Then helpful, respectful folks such as yourself say to anyone who wants documentation, "LEARN THE CODE AND DOCUMENT IT YOURSELF! It's a WIKI!"
Ignoring that of course the whole point of documentation is that it (hopefully) enables people to use software without having to read the source first...

So how will incorrect documentation help people? Again, if there is a mistake in the documentation either fix it or point to it to have it fixed.
See, you didn't say "... or point to it to have it fixed" before. You just told him to do it himself. Totally different.
I agree that pointing out specific errors is more helpful than a general request, though it's not always a realistic expectation.

You don't want Jim to correct the Wiki. Not because he's braindead - I know him personally and I value him a lot - but because of his English. Take a look at the threads he's been in recently on this list. ;)

Sorry @all :)

me again, sorry.
And if then the Wiki is partly wrong, one has no chance. I try since just different Quota for different users with backend maildir. And? It does not want to function. :-/ Therefore, my question after the update of the WiKi.

Hello Jim,
Jim Knuth, 30.03.2011 (d.m.y):
Well - you could just mention which parts/chapters/whatever of the wiki you suspect to contain errors...
Gruss/Regards, Christian Schmidt
