I agree, I'd like to see a "troubleshooting" category, perhaps  
including what information should be included in any post requesting  
help.

Also a basic "checklist", if anyone responding to a post could know  
that the basics had been checked it would reduce needless questioning  
back and forth.

I could even see a blank "troubleshooting results" form to be filled  
out by the poster and stored on the site, so anyone trying to help  
out could simply go to the form and see the information, which could  
be updated as more results are obtained, culminating (hopefully) in  
the solution. If this were somehow searchable it would make finding  
solutions easier than wading through the gossamer archives, and  
perhaps finding very outdated info.

Basically it would be a searchable history of problems, their methods  
of diagnosis and their ultimate solutions. I'd be willing to  
contribute my fumble-fingered time to try and get something like this  
set up, does WiKi software have something that would enable something  
like this ???
