No you don't.  As a documentation guy, I have an entirely
*rational* dislike of wikis.  Trust me on this.  Give in to your
hate.  Join the Dark Side.  :)

If you have a rational disliking of wiki's, please do share your reasons for such a disliking, especially whatever reasons are relevant for the project at hand - without using the force :)

I think you might be looking at this from the eyes of a project maintainer and me as a user.

In all seriousness, I might put up a tarsnap wiki eventually,
but I don't think there are enough tarsnap users with content to
submit to make it worthwhile yet.

Why don't you encourage users to send scripts to -users or you
personally?

I really don't care where or how such content would be contributed, but if I am to contribute to it, the time I need to spend on doing just that should be minimal. Having too much bureaucracy and stamps of approval might end up doing way more harm than good to the community around tarsnap (which now consists of http://www.google.com/search?q=tarsnap+script) .
