I am not sure that I like the idea of the Tips being on a Wiki. I like
the fact that I know exactly where to find a particular tip and that
chances are it will be there the next time I need it.
That the main problem I encounter with wiki pages.
If the wiki tips pages will be uniformly titled tip1234, tip1235, tip1236,
then this problem is solved. Numbers tend to remain stable over time :-).
That's in contrast to the descriptive titles, which could indeed
change over time.
Another thing is
that we most likely will encounter even more spam than now by moving to
a wiki (spambots are getting through, even when you have captcha and
user login).
