http://www.debian.org/intro/organization lists you and Alexander Schmehl as
being behind events_at_debian.org, who are responsible for this part of the
webpage...

I personally think that 1.+2. are _partly_ related to the fact, that
www.debian.org is maintained in wml in cvs, and not, say, in ikiwiki with a
more modern revision control system.

Obviously a wiki doesnt fix everything, but IMO we need to make it easier to
contribute. (A staging area in a wiki where _everybody_ can submit stuff
would be such a thing. Not everybody needs to be able to move this to the
official debian news section (whereever that is) but IMO everybody from the
www-team should be able to do so, therefore cc:ing debian-www_at_l.d.o.)

Also to answer 2. again: people write stuff and post it to their blogs (or
some lists too). It is just not moved.

BTW, http://times.debian.net/?category=event-announce also doesnt list
FOSS.in, nor does the news frontpage section of wiki.debian.org (which I
explain with the fact, that people use blogs and that we have two news sites
already.)

regards,

BTW2, editmoin (just out of NEW) sounds promising too.

BTW3: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/News and
http://www.skolelinux.org/en/node/3 doesnt really look better :( - Debian Edu
certainly welcomes contributors and is happy to give write access easily.
Contact debian-edu_at_lists.debian.org or me if you are interested.
