HP-Prime: Documentation & Tutorials

First of all, jebem, thanks for your effort! (And also thanks to all the ones that created contributions)

I would like to comment on this.

Meanwhile, Eddie Shore has created a serious Prime Wiki which we should all contribute to. Unfortunately it hasn't received a lot of attention. It's here:

http://wiki4hp.com/doku.php?id=start

In my opinion, while single contributions are great, scattering them on <a large arbitrary number> of sites is not so practical (indeed an index like the one of jebem is extra useful). Or better saying, surely doing a contribution is helpful for the author, because it is experience for him in exposing certain knowledge, but it does not help much the newcomer that has to search and does not know what to search.

As written, a post like the one of jebem is crucial to raise the value of the single contributions for newcomers, but the disadvantage is that jebem has more work to do. If jebem stops coming here, the index starts to be incomplete. So I wonder if would not be better to do it collaboratively (see wiki). Jebem can still be the main editor, and others can add edits that then jebem can revert.

I do like the wiki of Bruce (and I spent a lot of time on it in the past, and I hope to spend more time on it the future) and to me would not take much time to move the entire resource list in the first post on a wiki4hp article. But then the idea should be that who has new informative resources would edit directly that wiki.

What do you think?

I mean a post like this would be still helpful to point to the wiki and to discuss if the entry XY is valid for the resource list or not, so one can go and edit it if necessary.
