Actually I can speak from experience that Matt has hit it on the head. I was

having problems with the moko makefile while trying to test QEMU until I can

afford to get the actual phone. I couldn't figure out why it was building

with a broken GUI, luckily I knew about the mailing lists and someone was

able to point me in the right direction.

Once they find the information they may not remember (or be inclined) to go back and update it.



What new user is going to start off by editing an article about stuff they don't know?

Perhaps one method of identifying information, it to have a simple way to flagging an article as 'needs checking'.

Wiki moderators and the community at large could focus their efforts there.
