Hey, admins - how about a thread that reserves a spot for users to request topics? That way, knowledgeable people will be productively producing content.

And the admins saw that the idea was good. And there was evening, and there was morning, and the thread became a sticky.
Do remember -- these requests should be more like "What does someone know about something" rather than "How do I do something."Last edited by SteveRiley; Oct 28, 2012, 05:00 PM. -
Im a little confused on the difference between the How-Tos and the Knowledge Base. What exactly goes in this knowledge base that isnt a how-to?Comment

I would say howto's are tutorials on how to do something, knowledge base is more how things work. ie, How to increase the amount of swap space? vs What does swap space do? The knowledge base can be more in-depth as well as it is explaining how things work as apose to just how to do something.Originally posted by whatthefunk View PostComment

Knowledge base is for how-to also. Knowledge is Knowledge.RobComment

We already have a How-To forum. I'll admit this Knowledge Base idea is something of an experiment. I'm open to alternate suggestions for the forum's name. I'd still prefer to keep it separate from the How-To.Originally posted by Robtygart View PostComment

I guess I can see it this way.knowledge base is more how things work.
On another note: We have an Articles tab, shouldn't How to's and Knowledge base, be a main part of that. When I first joined here that is the first place I clicked, thinking I would find Articles.RobComment
