Hi - is this point of view valid for most of you? - do we need the separation?
I looked at the separation from the perspective of someone who has something to write up on the wiki and is trying to figure out where it goes. Following your separation definition, I would suggest this as a more concise way to tell if it is SDB or HOWTO: - - If it is reactive (i.e. there was a problem de facto, this is how I solved it) then that's an SDB - - If it is proactive (my box is fine, but I'd like to figure out how to do this or that) then this would be HOWTO Of course the problem with that is we might end up with a lot of HOWTOs or varying intensity (en.opensuse.org/HOWTO_chage_user_picture_in_KDE ; eek!), but that's a different issue. Could call 'em mini-howtos or just let them accumulate and then corral them off into a section which can be inaugurated down the line called "Tips and Tricks" or whatever we please then. This method of separating has the advantage that it is less confusing, which would hopefully translate to more entry-level user contributions (gotta start somewhere!).
- what is missing?
* SDB
<snip> What I like about SDB is that there is a set format. No telling what kind of funny things we could do with a broad selection of articles all coherently formatted. Of course, new contributors might just want to rush to dump a snippet of wisdom on the wiki; having to follow a very specific set of formatting rules might be off-putting. I'm not immediately sure how to address that; maybe encouraging documentation free-for-alls in user pages and then polishing these into SDBs? Worth thinking about; I genuinely think there's value in standardized documentation.
* Howto
<snip>
* FAQ
<snip> I'll add one more thing just to stir up the pot; screencasts. Should that be a fourth category?
