## 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
