Not to boast but I have contributed a lot lot wiki-like edits, articles, and posts. Probably way over 10,000. Usually if you are like me, you make the edit/fix/error you saw, hit submit, and then re-read it, being proud of your free contribution. And, exactly then, you find another thing to edit and fix. And so on --- until after a while you've written a real masterpiece. The instant you cannot get that live feedback and see a "your edit is awaiting approval" (or the equivalent awaiting an unknown amount of time for an auto-update) it's a no-go feeling like "That's the last time I ever help those aholes out." No masterpieces, only half-butted cruddy lame contributions with spelling errors etc. That's exactly what non-live editing is not asking but more begging for. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: http://cool.haxx.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rockbox FAQ: http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GeneralFAQ Etiquette: http://www.rockbox.org/mail/etiquette.html Received on 2020-06-27 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
