[snip] 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. AND ... Yeah the list is pretty high volume... it would be great if we could help relieve the stress on the servers a bit. [/snip] Perhaps http://www.phpcommunity.org could put some of this stuff up?

Jay, seeing as your our their steering committee, you tell us :-) seems like a good place for it tho! on top of having a place to dump cool stuff, newbie advice etc maybe we should nominate a person to act as 'Chief Archiver' - responsibilities. 1. sending out a weekly 'refresher' mails (with links to newbie advice etc) 2. managing the content of the refresher (and linked to newbie advice) 3. hassling/encouraging quality posters to summarize cool idea/discussions/solutions into wiki pages (assuming we use a wiki). 4. hassling/encouraging high-volume-posters and/or those people who show advanced level of knowledge on any given subject to 'take control' of certain pages/topics in the wiki (again assuming...). or does the majority prefer anarchy? (heh, its a choice! ;-)
