I’m not sure it will be very useful without a sticky feature, which we really need for a number of threads. We have all sorts of threads like this that could be stickied and be very helpful, but I’m afraid that at some point, this will drift off the front page and never be seen again.
Link to them somewhere prominent in the wiki, like the FAQ.
Whenever you post in a sticky thread, you’re also supposed to post in the most recent open thread with a link to your post in the sticky thread. This acts as an advertisement for your post while also keeping all the sticky thread posts on a single webpage for easy viewing.
This already exists. The last time it was updated though was in May, by me, and the last time before that was… well. I guess you already knew about this. That was your edit...
The problem, I think, is that it takes too long to edit the wiki, so no one really wants to, and I don’t feel particularly motivated to edit it when no one else is keeping up with the threads they’re posting.
For reference, issue 283 covers the sticky feature. It doesn’t seem like much has happened, but matt’s suggestions seem workable (and even almost optimal).
