It can come either end of it, and helps select between people posting
solutions to your question and links to http://lmgtfy.com/  :)

Repositories of knowledge like that can't be automated, they need curation.
The best mechanism would be to have folks who want it to work capture
information and ensure it stays relevant.

Success, of course, is when that collection of information becomes useful
enough that it grows beyond the little fiefdom of CLUG and starts to be used
by folks elsewhere in the LUG universe.  IMO, obviously.
