Hi Shahani,

I totally agree. I think we should all combine the learning into wiki =
pages. We can grant karma to a contribution area on wiki for all =
students and then later mine all that documentation (vetted by the PMC) =
into official website documentation. As Chris pointed out there are =
workflow surveys and taxonomies.=20

We can either have elaborate technical reports or short questioner like =
[1].=20
