As I proposed in the thread, I think we can address the problem by
tagging pages or abstracts of pages and have regular Doc Days or reviews
of them on ubuntu-motu-mentors at .

SVN and/or bzr results in less contributors. Do you think that or a more
rigorous access control to the documentation is going to help with the
problem of - granted - confusion over diverse packaging techniques?
