To sum things up briefly:
About a year ago, there were discussions on haiku-web over whether to
implement a true wiki eg, MediaWiki or to use Drupal to provide that
functionality. Whatever the reasons, it was settled on using Drupal to
simulate a wiki.
In our Drupal installation, there's an editor role "wiki-editor",
which allows the creation and editing of one or two content types :
'wiki-like' aka 'doctype'. Originally it was planned to make it a
permission for any authenticated user, but then our issues with
spammers came to light.
Most(or all) of the documents under www.haiku-os.org/guides are of the
wiki-like content type, It's perfect for any content that needs
frequent updates, by any person -- such as the building documentation.
We could give Maxim those permissions, which allow him and many others
on the site the ability to edit it.
