Jay, great list BTW - I was thinking maybe we could drop it on a site/wiki or something which could also contain stuff that comes up again and again, or stuff that even the 6month y/o newbie finds trivial or just good stuff thats been condensed from the list (kind of a good practice/cool code repository). I know there are lots of places out there already but I think

I think that Justin Patrin started up a wiki for PHP, but he hasn't been on the list in a while and I can't remember what the url for his wiki was. But he had a fair amount of useful code in there that would be a great start for this project.

,for instance, the mail archives suck for searching - and often there is plenty of FUD in among the cherries. someone could then send out a weekly NEWBIE email that points them to said site - which in turns introduces them to netiquette, list faqs, etc. having a Wiki type thing would relieve the list of lots of 'O-T' stuff on 'NEWBIE email enhancements'?

Yeah the list is pretty high volume... it would be great if we could help relieve the stress on the servers a bit. -- Teach a man to fish...
