Michael, like Oliver I really agree with you. I've talked about the need for a true KnowledgeBase for years, had one almost done, but day job committments intervened. I expressed my concerns again the 'Day of Dread' thread, partial comment included here:
So my 'fear' is that support of the community version is dropping in place of paid help service providers. The success of DNN was not only the codebase, but the 'free' exchange of support, ideas, and solutions from folks, which included CT members that were close to the bleeding edge of developing the DNN codebase. Though the forums are the only way to exchange knowledge, it is clearly not the best way to offer knowledge. The simple evidence of that fact is the number of question that repeated about the same topic. Search mechanisms are insufficient, but more to the point the forums really are not a good vehicle for providing a true knowledgebase. So, in the end all have a part to play for DNN to be successful. Here's hoping that support moves forward as well as the codebase.
While I do believe that Wiki's are useful, I'm not so sure about it as a KnowledgeBase. I want to be sure that the topic is 'spot on' about a solution for a specific issue, and that's what makes it so hard to provide it as a source of accurate information. Still, it's worth checking out, especially, if DNN is not going to provide one to the Community, which I hope is not really the case, but the 'quote' says it, so it is a concern. As, Oliver and I go back a ways, I'll just tell him publically, I'll start adding info about DNN RSS coverage. I began my blog, in fact to cover that topic, as I have no other public place to do it.
