I belong to several forums and find the architecture of the medium to be inadequate for the need. What is needed is a Wikipedia for the marque. Forums will have very important field knowledge embedded in a thread that contains a lot of banter. Finding it is hard.

Imagine instead if a wiki was part of the forum. Collective knowledge forms the current page. Talk is on another tab. I post a solution. Then someone else updates this with something I was unaware of that makes the solution better. Instead of clutter (my lesser knowledge having equal standing with the better solution), the best is on the page, with prior pages in history.

With such a tool, imagine in the UK, a retired enthusiast sits down with the knowledge holders (think Percy Kemish on tuning a Bristol 6 as an example of lost knowledge) and convinces them to leave their knowledge for posterity.

I suggest that is better than the Resource Section of the forum. Find the wiki and make it a Covid project for those locked at home.
