Oh, I don't know. Try googling "prototype tip" or "prototype tips", for instance. ;-) And that's after about a week. Give us some time, and I figure we'll show up even without Core links, and on more likely searches. (Who searches for "prototype tip"? :-) ) That said, I don't have any reason to believe that the Core folks have a problem with the unofficial wiki and in fact I *do* have reason to believe that if we do a good job with it, they'll happily link to it. "Unofficial" doesn't mean unuseful and unappreciated. Just that the information doesn't have to be cleared through committee before appearing on the wiki. I think we completely agree about community and bringing together plugins and add-ons, though, and from some recent conversations (not to mention Andrew's recent blog posts), I think that the Core folks are with us on that as well and that we'll be seeing efforts from them on that front. -- T.J.
