I'm a former skeptic, but I'm now fully converted to the advantages of wikis. Some of the stickies you mention are quite dated, and getting them updated is not easy - either the original poster or a moderator needs to be engaged, and I am guilty of just "not bothering" when I spot something out of date. The concept of shared editing / updates is what makes things like wikipedia.com so successful. I believe the same approach will work on FT.
The other huge advantage of the wiki is the ability to embed tables, images and other "nicer" formatting - FT threads are quite restrictive in that respect.
I've been working on the
BA wiki...no doubt if/when time permits, I'll be tackling some of the stuff here too.
