Thanks for your response!
Not seeing a whole lot of enthusiasm expressed so far for a wiki, I was
thinking that putting a list of errors, comments, or whatever on a wiki (say
WikiLearn for now) would not be very useful.
On the other hand, to a certain extent, WikiLearn is not (necessarily) meant
to be the type of site you go to and start reading from a portal page, but I
see it more often being useful because there are (will be) a lot of pages
(tidbits of information) hopefully (I know) on well named pages, and/or
including well chosen key words and phrases, so that the pages can be found
with a Google search.
If we use a good naming convention and include the full (canonical) name of
the HOWTO in the document (for the sake of argument, assume a page name of
CppBeautifierHowtoErrors (or ... Comments) with key phrases like "C++
Beautifier HOWTO Errors" and "C++ Beautifier HOWTO Comments" (and / or others
as appropriate), an author, reviewer, or reader should be able to easily find
those pages with an appropriate Google search.
So, even if only a few people want to create some pages on WikiLearn to record
errors, comments, or whatever, it should be useful.
