Hey guys, I wanted to make you aware of the following: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13140

The "Official Installation Guide" is severely outdated (the wiki page still mentions "i686 optimized").

As one of the two people who was once on Arch's only attempt at an official documentation team, and as one of several people who contributed many of the first articles to the wiki, I have this to say on the topic: Drop the official install guide. We know our wiki is well-maintained and well organized, and it seems to do that by itself without much developer interference. Go wiki! Originally, when we first set the wiki up Dennis, Judd, and I felt that the official install guide should be more... well... official. But its out of date, its always out of date, and there are wiki texts that are not out of date. Now, seeing how our wiki experiment has exceeded our hopes and expectations, I'd say that the install guide (drop the 'official') should be community maintained as are all our wiki pages. It will improve. When its time for a release, "somebody official" should read through it, ensure its accurate, convert it to plaintext and put it on the iso. Dusty
