What is this site?
The OSArch Wiki at wiki.osarch.org is a community knowledge base covering open source
tools, workflows, and resources for architecture and construction. Wiki edits represent
a distinct and undervalued form of contribution — documentation and shared knowledge
that outlasts any single forum thread.

Score weight
Current weight in config.yaml: wiki_edits: 0.2
Deliberately equal to forum posts — documentation is undervalued in most open source communities and the weight reflects that intentionally.
Concerns or open questions
- Username mapping: wiki usernames may not match GitHub or forum usernames
- Edit quality varies; raw count is a blunt signal
