A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Was it just not feasible?
Thinking about it and discussing it behind the scenes?
Ok but needs development?
Awesome and your working on it?

I think it's a great idea (I mean, when I came to the forums 5 years ago, one of my first posts was to ask for a Intro to the Forums thread).
I have NO IDEA how to make a big link to our wiki or the intro thread. Where would be the perfect place for it? Up at the top next to Search | Home | PIE | Recent Topics | etc?
What should we call it? "How-to use Permies.com"? "About our Forum"? "FAQ"? "Helpful Info"? "About Our Site"? something better? I think half-the battle with these things is figuring out what to name them!
