 Description   

Hi!

I would like to suggest that MariaDB Knowledge Base has a Wikipedia Style Documentation, so that:

  • Anyone can contribute by improving documentation.
  • Community contributions shall be accepted by administrators.

A forum oriented to share code between MariaDB community members would also be appreciated, so that when Custom Aggregates are supported, community will be for example able to share what they have done by means of these forums.

Also, in order to boost Open Innovation, In MariaDB Foundation webpage I would suggest to also include MariaDB Columnstore Engine, as it is completely Open Source, in order to create an advocate community who help to improve such engine.

Knowledge base already is, and always was, a wiki. Anyone can log in and edit it.

I logged in into my User Account and accessed a Knowledge Base Documentation Page in order to propose some improvements in documentation, but In fact, I can only add comments, not change main documentation.

Comment by Juan Telleria [ 2017-04-06 ]

However, changes I propose shall be reviewed by administrators in order to assure documentation accuracy.

I see the Edit button on the left pane in your screenshot

Thank you.

Little bit hidden, that is All.

Button could be called "Edit Knowledge Base Documentation" for Example, in order to be more clear.

Kind regards,
Juan
