I was also waiting for someone more knowledgeable with regards to the wiki.

If it's my say-so you want, I don't see a problem with adding *additional* content under CC. But switching all *existing* content to CC might be a problem.

Not really, I'm wanting to adapt a Gentoo document to Arch's needs. This document is CC by SA attribution licensed. The whole Wiki article would have to be under the same license and not the GFDL. The CC and GFDL licenses are not compatible. Would it be ok to add a footer paragraph to the Wiki article stating that the WHOLE article is CC licensed and to disregard the GFDL footer at the bottom? This would only be for new Wiki articles. I am not proposing re-licensing existing Wiki articles.

Just do it.

OK I will do. Anyone who objects to this should say so now. Ananda
