I'd like to put forth a proposal to SuSE and the folks on this list (who obviously include knowledgeable SuSEers) that SuSE create a self-maintaining user knowledge base with the same structure as SuSE's own database. Users could contribute articles to it having the same structure (including, in particular, keywords) as those in SuSE's own database. It could be surrounded by as many disclaimers as desired that the knowledge is not in any way guaranteed by SuSE and SuSE is not responsible for the accuracy or correctness of the knowledge therein. There's lots of useful knowledge on this list that never makes it to SDB, but searching the list is very difficult (Google seems to work better than anything else). The user knowledge database would provide a way to capture some of that knowledge, and folks here are obviously willing to volunteer their wisdom to the community. One would create an article by filling out an online form; a valuable enhancement would be to provide a way for others to comment on the article and in particular add to it. What do folks think?
