That's not what the Pine64 folks want. They want the forums full of redundant threads/questions and that wrong information is spread.

etc., etc., ....


look, i see nothing to be gained by getting into a snark fest about perceived slights and bitterness over the condition of docs, boards, the Pine64 team, or this fledgling community. i think it's more important to support each other as a community and work together to do real solutions and, most importantly, document them in a manner everyone can access and understand.

for what it's worth, i think the Pine64 folk have done a good job — they got slammed unexpectedly with many times the amount of kickstarter support, boards and production than they thought they would get, and have been doing their best to fulfill that. yes, docs and such will be trailing — guess what? same was true at the inception of the arduino, the raspberry pi, the beagle board, all of them. boards were released, there were issues, the community found work-arounds and filed bugs and created docs and there were revisions, and things improved. i don't see Pine64 boards being any different than that process.

that said, can anyone please point me to who updates the wiki to see about getting this updated to more accurate info so others, like myself, don't keep asking the same question about something that is all ready fixed? or, if we're allowed to contribute/edit the wiki, could someone please point me to the correct process to be allowed to do that, and if there is any links about what constitues a valid Pine64 wiki entry, so i don't spend time writing something up, only to have it rejected for some formatting issue i am unaware of?

as i've said, i prefer to focus on helping with solutions where we all can benefit than just complain about what's not there yet.

thanks i advance for anyone who can help with my requests about the wiki stuff.

best,
