Just as a reminder
KGS has a help wiki, anyone can contribute to it. You need only a basic knowledge of html.
Lots of pages need translated from english into other languages

Do you? Really?
Whenever you open the Help Menu in KGS and select Help you will find the KGS Help wiki appears.
http://www.gokgs.com/help/main.html is one page in the wiki.
http://www.gokgs.com/help/main.html?helpLocale=de_FR is the same page in French.
There is a wiki room on KGS under social, if you are interested in contributing you might like to go there I suppose.

You can ask glue if you want to help. She'll set you up with access.

Even wikipedia isn't open these days. If you feel like helping out, ask for access, I don't know of anyone yet who was refused permission to edit it.

Wikipedia isn't open? Since when? You just need to create an account.

I feel that having to create an account means that it isn't open. The idea that an account would make you a trustworthy editor... well I don't buy that. Anyway, slightly off topic ;p

It's not about trustworthy, it's simply about keeping track of editors.
And, BTW, nothing on the KGS help page suggests that it's a wiki. In fact, until you brought it up here, I would never had considered that it was on.

Exactly, hence my request for a link (albeit in an uncalled for tone, I'll go stand in the corner now).

No you don't. Anyone can edit wikipedia, account or no account. Same thing is true for Sensei's Library

Re: Help Wiki
I just edited a page without an account. Where did you get the idea that you need one?

Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

Re: Help Wiki
You don't have the same editing rights anymore if you choose not to register - that's what I meant. Still I just hate wikipedia these days, it's so unintelligent.
Anyway, I just wanted to advertise the KGS help wiki a little more

Thank you, Javaness. So let's have it opened up to unfettered access to everyone. I find the present content not all that helpful.

Re: Help Wiki
I don't really want unfettered access. The goal of the KGS pages aren't to repeat sensei's library. It's to let people who want to write KGS help pages, write them. 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.
