i like erpel's post a lot. sometimes when i am looking for posts about a certain topic, say "pot control," the search function is basically useless because of the overload of posts that mention either one of those words in passing. renton's guide doesn't even use the term as far as i can tell.

maybe all that is needed is for the "learning begins here" sticky to be updated to include more definitive posts on certain concepts. after all, it already includes links to a bunch of good posts. just need to poll the community on what posts they think should be added to the sticky list.

for example, the moderator could come up with one concept or subject per week and let people nominate posts, then at the end of the week, add the one best post to the sticky.
