(RFD) Which would you prefer next?

What I'd like to see is a knowledge base.  There are many threads where people ask for help in solving a problem but it can be time consuming looking through all of them.  If there was a way to condense the information into a Problem: - Solution: system, it would be an incredible resource.

It is probably not feasible for admins to do this alone but users could be reminded to submit complete solutions to the knowledge base once the problem was solved.  Also, encourage/remind people to actually post solutions instead of posting, "never mind, I solved the problem, bye and thanks."

You mean, like Amigawiki.com?

I had never visited Amigawiki but had a quick look.  It's similar to what I proposed but I'm thinking that a lot of threads on amiga.org are about people with specific problems.  If the problems and solutions could be massaged into a format that could be searchable by keyword and organized it would be incredible.  Searching through threads is helpful but tedious.  Btw, this is a problem in general with searching for anything on the web.  One major reason to visit a site like amiga.org is for help with specific problems ( knowledge ) from the user ( base ) since so many companies and accompanying resources are gone.

There are resources on the web with general troubleshooting information and articles and threads but none of it is organized or consolidated in any meaningful way.  Maybe there could be a reminder to submit information to the knowlege base when people post to threads? I hope this helps clarify.
