There have been quite a few posts on the DA 18-135, that seem to go on and on. If there was any way to have a wiki type situation, or posts that could be edited by anyone with relevant information, maybe those posts could be condensed into shorter, more readable form. The way things are done now is nice, but you have to read a lot. And there is never an abstract, a short concise summary of the information presented for those of us who would rather avoid reading the 40 posts.

We had this at one point, and nobody used the wiki. If you'd like to contribute some article, though, I'd be happy to work with you on writing homepage content.

Thanks Adam, funny some freinds and I tried to start a wiki on another site and we were the only ones that contributed. We only had 20 members but everyone who joined thought they would be contributing.. but didn't. I guess it's just more work than people think... or something.

Same story here, basically, though a few things did get added to the wiki.

Editorial guide seem to be the way to go, therefore.
