So, one of the first pages to go up on this wiki, if there is to be one, could be a list of questions that have been asked ans answered a frillion times before. We could use these to start. Sooner or later we could sort the questions under headings. Anyone got any more? I'm thinking that it could be a page of *questions* only. Interested parties could then pick a question to expound on and start a new page for it (linking it back to the question).
