Something that Arch can always benefit from is knowledge of how other distros do things. We don't always make the same choices as the other distros, but at least being informed about other methods and their consequences helps to find a better solution in the end. I'm thinking that a whole site dedicated to intelligent discussion about distros would be really cool and helpful. A couple of guidelines would have to be in place: 1) People get LARTed very quickly -- have to nip the distro war mind-set in the bud. 2) Every distro is equal (much like linguists consider every language to be equal). Just because one distro does something different doesn't mean that it's bad. You have to look at the relative merits of everything. 3) The discussions are for the betterment of all distros, all (well thought out) opinions are valid for their own reasons. No distro should be excluded from the discussion. Some of the technologies we figured was an article system like osnews, where intelligent articles about tools, methodologies, etc for a given distro can posted, with comments. Also a general discussion mailing list. Both would (hopefully) be community taggable ;o) It'd be the first place to have something like that. It'd be cool if people could request articles about certain topics to help expand their own knowledge (especially to gain insight into a problem they're having right now). This site would really only be for smart people who have good ideas to offer to the distro development community. Anyone else need not apply ;) What do you guys think? Good idea? Not?
