Hey Jim, thanks for the thoughts.

I guess the problem with this is that I don't have "control" over the 
information on the pages we link to. If we link to confusing complicated 
sites, that might be a bad thing. Plus, there are so many different 
issues people might want information on. You wanted info on fixing your 
repositories, but there are a million other things that people might 
want a resource for. Is that too hard to accommodate?

Maybe this is where the wiki (http://wiki.makethemove.net) can come in 
handy? If you worked out your issue, then why not post an entry on the 
wiki? Then people have a central "controlled" resource to find 
assistance. Does this idea sort of fill the gap you're mentioning?

Cheers!
