Hi Clay,

Thanks for coming up with this issue. You are right; FAQ whiteboard has been neglected so far.

To answer your other question, it would be better if a person edits the page FAQs maintained by our community members as well while selecting/adding a topic here Current list of FAQs looking for maintainer. If you select a particular topic from the list, it does not get removed from the page automatically. Someone has to edit both the pages and maintain the FAQ whiteboard properly.

My suggestion is why don't few of the community members come up as FAQ maintainer and shoulder the responsibility of editing and monitoring all the pages as well. Basic editing techniques are quite simple; however, there are some complex protocols too. But I am sure, if you all try by heart, you can master in anything.

Looking forward to your reply. Do let me know if you have any more doubts.

Regards
Denny

Well I signed up for one of the topics, but don't know how to get it so its in the FAQ instead of looking for a maintainer (which it has) ... Am I dense or just don't get it?

It's very easy Clay. All I did was first copied the text "Commonly used abbreviations in the forum" and pasted it in the "List of FAQs" section. The link will automatically appear after you save the page. Then I removed the text from "Current list of FAQs looking for maintainer".

I've done it with your thread. Please check it http://www.yesdebtfree.org/kb/1284.html

All you need to learn some basic wiki syntaxes to play with the wiki. Smile

Well, it has been several months, and we have many wonderful and insightful new members of the community so maybe its time to get this post back on the front page, or maybe even make it a sticky.

Are there any topics members out there would be interested in adopting? Or is there information you feel should be added to a topic being maintained by another?

Hey Denny, I still think you should put a link to this white board in the "our Services" area. Any one looking for this information has to know these white boards exist and then find this thread in order to get to this information. A lot of the information on these white board could be very useful to new members of the community.

Hi Clay,

Your suggestion is highly appreciated as we do the long term planning. We will properly organize the whiteboards under the FAQ so that these pages come into focus under "Our Services".

I also take this opportunity inviting our members and maintain the FAQ whiteboard section. The guidelines on how to get started are explained here Please post those who are interested or you can send me a PM. Smile

Denny
