Mailing-lists,irc and wiki have many things in common. I prefer wikis
before lists because the information is sorted and easier to find than
searching for subjects in a archive of a list. I had always the feeling
that here are a lot of god hints that are never getting on the
site... Transparent menus are one thing for example (a bad one, okay,
as this should be really easy to find searching the archive but
neverless), the question hit the mailing list every month or so, but it
is not in the faq ... i'm sure could find some other examples....

I never really got used to things like xml,html or php ... Me would be a
