In general I agree that we can promote the wiki better. Hopefully the "help site" and "FAQ" links on the homepage get them to the search tool within the wiki. Also I suspect we could promote the module help pages more, although the "module of the day" does help with that and we have the GUI help + g.manual never too far away. > >> I think it would be nice and helpful to have something like > >> a "wiki item of the day" at the starting page > >> grass.osgeo.org. > >> > >> any opinion on this? any ideas how this could be > >> implemented?

The Special:Random URL automatically redirects to a page URL. Very similar to the "module of the day" (module of the visit? :) we could have in the same box a "Tip of the day" or "Hint of the day", just below it. The js magic which picks the module of the day could also call the Special:Random URL, and collect the final URL and the final URL's page <title> to use as the link and the link text, respectively. what do you think?
