User generated FAQ and Best Practices section
There are some common tasks and best practices that could be shared with the group by all the good people on the board. Having a admin approved/user generated section of this sort might be nice. Often there are lots of tidbits that could be grown into a useful document. Just a thought.

Cheers,

Keith

We are certainly looking for someone to accept administrative responsibility and 'run with' developing the FAQ section.

kduffin, are you interested? If you, I will grant you privs' to take control and enhance the important area.
