Al, You make a good point that totally unedited mechanical advice is not necessarily a benefit and can be a danger. Yet, we also have the problem - if a mechanic publishes mechanical advice *as a mechanic*, then that can increase his liability risk. If we, as a group of people, try to help each other in our spare time to provide information on the gotchas and references then we have status as an educational, mutual help group for what that's worth. If you have a subject matter expert who wants to take the lead, great! I cheat - I put together what looks right from the best sources I can get, then I run it by real experts for validation. That's how I "wrote" the Annual Inspection Checklist, the Pre-Purchase Inspection and the Coupe FAQ. Those were all vetted and contributed to by experts. The result generally comes out to pretty trustworthy information. Though still not perfect, it's a pretty useful starting point for mechanics. I can see convenience in a Wiki format. For right now I'd propose we try out this methodology. I'll try to provide fairly quick turn around, decent regular web page formatting and some vetting of content. Other editorial volunteers are welcome and encouraged! Content producers are the real heros!
