Maybe you have could section just for tips and advice, the sort of thing
which is useful but doesn't warrant an entire article just for itself.
I've seen some really handy snippets of shell scripts and the like on
the list and it would be nice to have a permanent repositry of this kind
of knowledge.
Also a wiki would be nice :)
