Yes. It's a wiki. I'm only suggesting it for the front page, to break up what will otherwise be a huge list of links.
If anyone wants to recommend a better way of laying stuff out in the confines of this wiki environment, I'm eager to learn.
If everyone hates it, it can always be reverted back to text.
All this discussion on how to display information, do we actually have any *worthy* content to give?
I was, among other things, hoping for a tricks and tips area and/or a help! area. These need links from the front/top page.
I wonder also whether it might not be a good idea to have an area where people could sort of volunteer skills/knowledge. I'm sure lots of people have encountered and overcome problems in particular areas of Linux which are difficult to write up in a useful way but it would be fairly easy to say "I know a bit about xxxx".
E.g. I have done things like:- Got accented characters working in tin, mutt and elsewhere.
Installed VMware on Slackware (not specifically supported)
bla, bla, bla.
Just having somewhere to put this sort of thing so it can be found easily would be useful. It doesn't really fit in one's profile.
