In order to avoid having this written up separately, but provide a
similar service:
Separate/side panel with search linked to the mailing list.
When searching for the item (or browsed to) it brings up relevant
mailing list posts.
Might be worth embedding a 'star' system, where a solution (or
solutions/workarounds) would be collated, and posted to the list with
5 asterisks (value to be determined. Maybe 1 star for platform
specific, 2 stars for workaround, 3 stars for performance, 4 stars
for point clarification and 5 stars for unresolved after a set amount
of time) and the web site search just look for these. Someone would
need to take charge of this tho. Or maybe implement something similar
without human intervention and just look for word cues in the message.
Cheers,
Luis.

But it is still a dictionary. For newer users trying to get
proficient, its
still going to be like trying to improve your Bulgarian from a
Bulgarian-English dictionary. You can do it to a limited extent,
but its
going about it the hard way. And as one poster said earlier, you
have to
know Bulgarian well enough to know what you are looking for before
you can
find it!
What one part of the target market needs is something quite
different. They
need a dictionary of meanings, of tasks. Then they need an entry
which shows
how to combine various language elements to get the task done.
Without this,
they'll have a really hard time moving from novice to proficient,
and will
probably give up and go elsewhere.
It is probably not a need which most contributors to this list
have, and it
may be a target market not worth going after. But Rev does seem to be
targetting such users, and this is what it will take to get and
keep them.
