Thanks for your feedback. The other way of looking at it, of course, is that 
_everyone_ can write "official-looking content"! ;-)

I'm sure many of us understand the pros and cons of community documentation 
projects such as wikipedia these days. I believe the pros are more 
significant than the cons. Quite frankly it doesn't matter _WHO_ writes the 
content, it can always be in error, and just as with source code, with many 
eyes all errors are small. We've seen an ecouraging number of people 
improving/correcting hylafax.org documentation, and we hope the trend will 
continue as people gradually learn that they are actually able to edit the 
content. As for misleading/devaluing content, we trust that people will on 
average contribute accurate, useful information but the trust is not 
absolute! Every single update to the site since its launch passes at least 
two levels of editorial review and occasionally changes are either reversed 
or revised in collaboration with the author.

The page in question was migrated from the HylaFAX wiki (which will soon be 
decommissioned), and lives in the Community section of the hylafax.org site:

http://www.hylafax.org/content/Community

This section is more of a free-for-all, and subject to much less editorial 
review than any other section of the site. Perhaps there's a way to make 
this more obvious, without restricting people's freedom to contribute 
whatever they like. We've made a preliminary change that tries to make that 
more clear.
