<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">With eQuest there are many
ways to skin a cat reflecting the users past experience and what
problem they were solving when they learned the technique. The eQuest </font>training
session skips past much of the important geometry input to get to some
of the meatier subjects. There are a lot of subjects not covered in
training, and many new ideas are evolving. A Wiki would be great and
solve a few problems with this forum. Many questions are answered over
and over. The forum subject lines are not always indicative of the
information contained in the post. There are a few different opinions
on some of the topics. A Wiki would put the techniques up where other
"experts" could put in their 2 cents as well and a good reference
library could be quickly built with the best answer. It would be very
handy at 3 in the morning when you are banging your head on a wall
after missing something simple but critical and most of the forum is
sleeping. Plus I would imagine there would be some new tricks to be
learned by the old dogs too.<br>

Lots of industries use it already.
While it's great to have access to the multitude of eQuest opinions, I think
it also has the tendency to be overwhelming for the average new user. For
example, Joe the Newbie asks, "how do I do such and such," which prompts a
cascade of 5 different answers.
If I'm looking for a reference, I'd be more interested in 1 good answer
rather than 5 possible answers.
To address that, would it be possible to create mini "think tanks" composed
of 3-5 volunteer sim professionals (per question) who are willing to
collaborate and come up with that "1 good answer" to be included in the wiki
FAQ?
I'd volunteer my time for that!

Subject: Re: [Equest-users] make exterior wall an interior wall
I have considered adding a Wiki to the onebuilding.org web
site to allow material related to specific simulation
programs (such as a Frequently Asked Questions for
eQUEST-users) to be posted. The visual guide that you put
together would probably be a good addition. Would a Wiki be
useful?
