I have been given a wiki account and I would like some input as to what is needed in terms of maintance, documentation updating, tutorial creation etc?
I am a sysadmin so it is good to offload this kind of stuff to me so that you guys are free to do the programming bits.
So far I have updated various pages with info from myself or that has been gleaned from the mailing list and I would like to know how I am doing? I have never edited a wiki before.
https://www.coreboot.org/Special:Contributions/Taiidan
I have 3 coreboot motherboards that all lack complete featurelists and two lack build tutorials which I will remedy, I will also create pages for getting started (a newbie page), security, virtualization support/board buyers guide information (ie: which mobos have/support hvm, iommu/iommu gfx, sr-iov, etc) and info about which coreboot motherboards are suitable for modern gaming and also a POWER arch intro page using the info that people have provided on the mailing list.
I would like to know as to how much we are allowed to indicate that x86 OEM's are generally hostile to the FOSFW movement? I don't want to ruffle any feathers, as these days they are already significantly ruffled.
I was able to figure all this out but for the free firmware movement to survive it needs to be spread to a wider audience thus things need to be made a little bit easier, I have plenty of linux sysadmin acquaintances but none of them use coreboot because they aren't yet fanatical enough about FOSFW to bother with the difficulty level.

Thank you on planning to improve the documentation in the Wiki. Please make sure to contact Zaolin and Martin, to be up-to-date, what the current plans regarding documentation are.

Do you have a suggestion on how the indication would look like?
Thanks,
