19 Yeah, the forums are a great place to find ways of fixing common mistakes and
20 incorporating those into the kbase. Just spend a little while in "Installing
21 Gentoo" and notice the threads that appear; often the same 5 or 6 errors (like
22 'panic: unable to mount root fs' as swift demonstrated).

24 I'd be much more careful and conservative about material from gentoo-wiki,
25 simply because there is a *lot* of bad information there. Granted, there are a
26 few novel ideas, but as rane said, we can't simply plagiarize their work.

28 And, of course, the DT&T forum has lots of great ideas. Also see the FAQs forum
29 for more ideas.

31 Also, the proposed outline for the individual article format looks quite good.
