There are a number of people who have posted on this and other mailing lists that they'd like to contribute, but aren't programmers, or aren't C programmers. They are, however, admins and users, who've had to solve problems and build infrastructures utilizing OpenBSD, and have gained valuable experience and insight while doing so. This knowledge should be shared, but not in an "OMG lets make a website to hold all of this" because that ends up being someone having to put work into managing *that* instead of doing work or learning something new, which they can subsequently share, etc. For those who can't directly contribute with code, but have experience to share, writing up hows and whys of what was done to achieve a goal using OpenBSD can be useful to the community. I'm not talking about a quick howto post on your blog; I'm talking about reading the FAQ and other documentation, and using that as a yardstick for measuring whether or not what you've written is worth sharing. Just my 2 NOK.
