editable/alphabetized basic photo faq - with Pentax bias

Was just reading one of the existing threads about light meters and one poster mentioned the "sunny 16" rule. Now, I've used that rule from time to time, especially with K and M lenses, but wonder if I'm employing it correctly, what the basis for the theory is, do I understand it correctly.

I believe it would be a great service to the photographic community at large, and us here specifically, if we could have a basic photography FAQ that would cover some basic theory of photography.

Of course, even though it would contain basic photography theory, it would be geared to Pentax cameras. Sort of a place where the general photographic community could go for information, but with Pentax cameras as the foundation. Would be a good advertising tool.

The 'problem' with forum software is that subject titles cannot be alphabetized, modified (kept concise), or indexed. Is there some way whereby a wiki-like structure can exist within this forum software that we could all contribute to? I know that there is still a lot I need to learn, but don't want to post questions all the time.

Hi Steven,

I know that that kind of sorting is not a standard feature of vBulletin, but it wouldn't take all that much to integrate using a plugin.

Once we have a more-or-less complete Pentax FAQ (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-dslr-faq/), I'll start working on a dedicated section for all the info, perhaps on the homepage.
