Part of the upgrade will include a wiki integrated in vb4. The idea is t provide a woodworking wiki encyclopedia. There will be a more formal article structure, and a WIP
Log available for those who are willing o that.
But the forums will still be the primary methodology.
As a new member and woodworking newbie I would say that a wikki attached to the site as a repository for information would be awsome. I also would suggest a few FAQ posts stickied at the top of various forums. (I haven't been able to find any FAQ's so forgive me if I am missing them).
Another possible idea might be a sticky in each of the woodworking forums noting interesting topics (how to's or plan suggestions) with links to the threads they point to. It would help for picking out good old stuff that is buried in the threads.
Just a few thoughts from a new persons perspective.
