I like your idea, Marcin. I also feel like we would benefit from a central location to store some frequently discussed topics, so we can easily link people to the information they need. For example, there is much confusion about acquiring a repo link from the bacula project. If we could link to a page with information about this, that would be great. I volunteer to help write such an article, if you are interested in hosting such content.
I have also thought some basic configuration guides might be helpful, as a starting point to new bacula users. The bacula manual is very daunting. I feel like there is not a lot of "quick start" information. On the other hand, instructions like "paste this information into your config file" glosses over important bacula information that is contained in the manual. I think at minimum configuration examples could be useful. An example of a configuration example I would have found useful is setting up bacula with cloud copy jobs, and object locking. I do not think object locking is mentioned anywhere in the bacula documentation. This is an area where the information doesn't include only bacula knowledge, but also knowledge from another area. One thing I have lamented about the mailing list structure is that it isn't easily searched, and people cannot easily find the information they need like can be done on stack exchange etc. I don't know if you find interesting the idea of hosting a wiki or some other source of bacula knowledge beyond news, but these are the thoughts on my mind.
