One way could be for all the forum Documentation, Tips and Tricks to go into the Wiki, and always link to Wiki articles, headings, or sub-headings. There is a lot of repeat, and the Wiki is probably the best place to look up than searching through forum threads/posts. |

I'm fully with you on the philosophy.
Generally speaking, forums are overused, and wikis and bug trackers are underused.
My long term plan is to create a distro/linux community where helping each other and actually improving documentation and software go hand in hand, instead of the latter being merely a potential afterthought of the former. |

something we could learn from openbsd
| Quote: | | One important difference between OpenBSD and many other operating systems is the documentation. OpenBSD developers take great pride in the system man pages. The man pages are the authoritative OpenBSD documentation. Developers making a change to the system are expected to update the man pages along with their change to the system code. It is expected that a user will check the man pages before asking for help.. |

FreeBSD online Handbook is also good documentation example for anyone. |
