<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I know what you mean, I've got nearly
20 pages linked in the task list
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks/Review_2.6_Manual">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Wiki_Tasks/Review_2.6_Manual</a>)
and again on my user page that haven't been reviewed. Some of
these have been sitting there since the start of February. Waiting
7 months for a review has all but killed my interest in
contributing. I'm also going to be *that guy* and say that I
called it
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-docboard/2012-February/003861.html">http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-docboard/2012-February/003861.html</a>).<br>
<br>
I know that there was a lot of effort put into setting up this
review process but it hasn't worked and doesn't look like it's
going to. There simply aren't enough people with enough time to
make this system work properly. <br>
<br>
Keeping the task list is useful, but I'm inclined to think that
it's time to ditch the whole review thing. At this point, it's
just holding up improvements to the manual. I know that it was put
in place for quality control, but it's had the opposite effect
since none of the contributions are making it into the manual and
we're still left with the incorrect and outdated pages. <br>
<br>
The review system is just placing obstacles in front of current
and potential contributors and I'd rather run the risk of some
lower quality pages so that it's easier for people to contribute.
<br>

I had posted updates for the strands, build modifier, particle
mode, and bake pages over 4 months ago, but they still haven't
been reviewed<br>
I've really lost all momentum on wiki editing after this much time
waiting for a proof-read<br>

<div dir="ltr"> Hi everyone,<br>
Both bf-docboard and blenderwiki IRC channel
seem to be very quiet at present. Can anyone
tell me if there is any Blender wiki updating
work ongoing at present (apart from the review
work of Kesten Broughton on the recent Game
Engine updates)? <br>
<br>
I HOPE there will be a whole raft of replies re.
ongoing work that I dont know about! <br>
