[Coco] Drivewire and ADOS...

[Bill Pierce]

No one is doing "3rd party" stuff. As far as I know, it was never mentioned other than the mention of incompatability with Ados and how to solve it. If you consider that "3rd party" then technically so are Dw4, HDBDOS, and NitrOS9 as they were derived from other sources in their beginnings just as Ados was.

All I plan to do in the Wik is  share my knowledge of the aquisition, installation and initial running of Dw4, HDBDOS, and NitrOS9, in one central location. No one's "changing" anything, just "explaining" (hopefully) a little better (read non-technical)  what is there, where to get it, and what to do with it when you get it.
The whole idea is geared to those who don't know but want to learn, not to those who already do know and don't want to explain (no targets intended here)... or those who will never know, no matter how much you explain.

I think I missed something.

Drivewire is absolutely open source.  You are free to take the source and
use it any way you would like within the terms of the GPL.   As far as I am
concerned this can apply to the wiki content as well.

However, this does not grant anyone the right to make changes to the
official project.  As the maintainer, I have the responsibility to prevent
bad changes and the final say on what happens.

Adding documentation for third party software to the DriveWire 4 wiki is a
bad change, and I will not be doing that.

====================

It's nice to have someone overseeing a project like this! So there is an 
"official" release and any "custom" releases.

I agree, you shouldn't have documentation for third party stuff on the original 
site. A different page for custom releases on the same site might be a good 
idea, with links to docs/pages for other software mentioned.
