If a group of forum users (not me) want to get together and port information to the official wiki instead of to the doc, can this be another official (parallel) forum project?

I do not want to debate or insult the DOC.

Some would say this idea is redundant. Some would say the doc is redundant. I still think that some would like to do this and is there any reason to tell them no, if they ask?

Potentially, both teams could build a bridge? :)

I may join such a team, but I do not wish to head such a team, for obvious reasons of recent history.

I stated previously that the DOC project was KB's personal project using forum information. I wouldn't go to say its an official forum project because he is a moderator.

I think if anyone wants to take any information from the forums and use in any Ubuntu wiki/doc setting they should be able to. This is the perfect time to draft a license for which the content of the forums uses.

I think both teams and any teams should be open to each others ideas.

So if another group wanted to start a team for that they could get tee-shirts and nametags, too? (Use of forum ressources - like the other forum teams)

As more than once previously stated, and in my on going communications with both MDKE, and most of it not all of the Doc Team, I am more than open to doing anything that they wish to ask or do, aside from the obvious point of taking the Doc down, which in my best assumptions to everyone, will never happen.

It is as open as the Wiki, I put no immediate restrictions on it, (no nudity, no vulgarity, no illegal activity, and normal such things that), nor do I limit who can add or take from it.

Currently the issue stands of liscencing between the two, something with proper direction and aggreement between myself and the Wiki/Doc team , Im more than happy to oblige.

Just have to ask me......

Sure if someone wants to start a team they can create a post here and we can discuss it.

EDIT: KB has stated once the license issues are worked out between himself and mkde he will let people copy over the data to any place they want to put it.
