In the past people have volunteered to write help pages, but it was always difficult to put those into a KGS release, so the KGS help wiki was written as a way that when somebody is willing to write help pages, I can easily give them the ability to do so. If somebody truly wants to be useful, I think having them first say "Hey I'd like to change these help pages" isn't too much to ask. Somebody too lazy to do that is unlikely to make useful contributions anyway IMHO.
Very good. So we can bury the claim that "KGS has a help wiki" or are we redefining wiki? I can appreciate quality control, especially with regard to a help page, but let's not call it something it's not. Regardless, I wish someone would take the time to fill out the help page more fully. I'm sure it's plenty full for most of you veterans, who never visit it anyway, but it's not all that user friendly to new comers.
And there's no need to get defensive about this. If it helps, just think of us KGS challenged folk as idiots in need of extra help, or whatever suits your fancy. God help those who may think KGS can improve.
