That sounds a great plan. I will add it to my page plan for the Wiki (have been thinking about this seriously you see.
This is the great thing about a Wiki, they grow and develop more with each user that has a idea.

I was also talking to Pete last night and mentioned a library of text books that we could document and lend out within the group. This

make a good talking point especially if someone is looking to do something in particular. I have a few books that I doubt I will

understand that might be of use to others along the way (I was
given
them).
I have quite a few, some I'd quite happily donate whereas others I'd
want to keep but would be very happy to lend.
I have quite a few books which can be borrowed, but are mainly application types. Are we going to get a central list on the forum^H^H^H^H^H Wiki ? :)
This too sounds like a perfect Wiki application doesn't it. Anyone willing to lend/donate books can add them to an appropriate section of the Wiki, maybe with a comment or two as to whether the book is good or not and its audience. People who borrow the book can add further comments.
I suggest two 'classes' of books, 'donated' and 'lent'. Donated books could just stay with a borrower until someone else wanted them, it means that the hassle of moving them on to the next reader isn't down to the original donor. Lent books on the other hand would be expected to be returned to the original owner.
