I won't dismiss the importance of sharing information, although I would like to be careful how much chaos we add to the wiki before we make a real attempt at organizing things. Michael Harris has taken some time time to write up this plan for organizing the wiki: http://wiki.habariproject.org/en/Wiki_Structure Perhaps if we're going to put tips into the wiki, we should allocate space for them and put them there to start with? [As an aside: I really like the idea of an "Incoming" area in the wiki for things where you have no idea where they're supposed to go. Someone who can figure that out can periodically look through and move them to where they need to be.] And on that topic, I had some thoughts about building a StackOverflow-like system of requesting help and selecting answers. While the wiki works better for the short term, it might be useful to produce a kind of help-desk area where people could ask questions (posts) and then they and others could vote (commentinfo) on the best working answers (comments). Similarly, these could be used to keep track of frequently searched-for or asked questions (postinfo), and could be consulted during development to determine Habari's weak areas; where changes need to be applied to improve the product. Obviously, that's a lot more work than just putting the tips into the wiki, but I think it's a better potential workflow for users. And it also would demonstrate how Habari can be used in a non-blog context. Just a thought.
