Please understand none of this is a complaint, I just think offers of help might be falling through the cracks.

Why aren't your contributions on the Wiki?

I could not tell you... They are in the Forums, I've offered to have them placed where-ever. They are still here.

I think it would be good to collect a database of willing, able, skilled folks for MX & antiX and place the list in some accessible place for folks to offer & get help. I have attached the kind of "database" I have in mind. I'll probably be getting spam from the free download "forever" The sheet would need to be modified for use here.... but it could be put online. Heck, even I can do that.

@manyroads: same answer, lack of personnel. If you would like to help with the Wiki, we'd be delighted. What has to be done to do that? PM peregrine for access, take a look at what is there and go for it. If that interests you, let me know and I can tell you what I see needing attention.

Maybe suggest a new category on "Tutorials" and bring in yours and others?

Thanks.

Have you asked for volunteers? My knowledge is limited but wherever I can help, I will.

Is there a patreon page or something similar to also contribute nonliterary monetary funds?
P.S. Stupid autocorrect.

@Sparky, not to worry, everyone's knowledge is limited.

Oh, I see. The wiki isn't a real wiki. Users can't add/edit content. BTW, I greatly enjoy reading your contributions. :-)
