Well let's see. I guess one thought I have is that we might as well change the topic name from 'Top Ten Supermac Issues' to 'FAQ Project' since that seems to hit the nail on the head. At least until a permanent name evolves later on for the final page.
Obviously there are no real rules set down for this process. It's a group effort which merely requires individual contributions and a self organization that will evolve naturally. I guess if one person is writing on an issue and he/she wants to quote some text portion written by somebody else, you might reference that person as "According to ... or As Discovered by..." In authorship, just be fair and reasonable to others work. Of course it can be difficult to credit every little part of a quote when time has passed and the source is long lost. If there is a major contribution, co-authoring can also be fun. There might even be instances where an entire topic is covered somewhere else. I guess we would need to figure out how to address this or maybe just to contact that author for permission to reprint? The only other thought I have to build momentum on this is if you have an idea for a topic, even if you don't want to write the article, send the idea to Pastor Mac. (How's that sound Pastor Mac?) If he can begin assembling a simple bullet list of topics on a main page he's creating, that will start providing food for thought for everyone else. I guess an updated Bullet List can occasionally be posted here as well. When someone wants to cover that item, maybe he can put a check mark in front of it. Those not checked are still available and would still need a writer. Then if a topic doesn't have enough support or doesn't warrant being written, it will just work itself out of having interest. But I think we need topics listed somewhere to begin with. So don't hold back in recommending an idea. If there is something you have always thought would be great to see posted in an FAQ, pass it on. Many of you know what key Supermac Issues are out there. >From what has been suggested thus far, and a few I can think of, here's some to start the list: c600 Memory Issue Installing MacOSX on a J700/S900? How to replace PRAMbattery in my C500 What is the "Venus Board" CD-ROM drivers PCI Card Order Issues/Solutions Monitor Problems at Boot-up problems/solutions Fan Noise Solutions in s900/j700 Seeing more Topic suggestions would really boost this project.
