Hm, GG is good for ephemeral discussions. But because the discussions here 
are really about very technical problems in using the software, they often 
contain snips that would make sense to save, as evidenced by e.g Mohammads 
work. But the very manual curation such efforts demand is the big problem. 
We do need some infrastructure for e.g plugins but we would *also* benefit 
from a knowledge base more comparable to e.g Wikipedia (including it's 
article discussions) where the whole community can gradually add to from 
the discussions in a semi-automatic way. The ideal might be if the 
discussion software featured a way to mark out (tag?) posts/segments so 
they become part of a curated body (that can be fine edited "later"). 
Tagging and quality-rating is almost painless. This would be overkill for 
most software discussions but for a multi faceted animal like TW where 
people have totally varied needs and knowledge levels, I think it would 
make sense.
