They aren't perfect, but they are out there.

Resources. They aren't perfect, but they are out there. Problem is, nobody knows about 'em. Might I ask the relatively simple pony of a front-page resources link?

There are a lot more than just those, as well. Someone has a list in their user profile, but I can't remember who. Case in point.

Or, may I suggest, a posting page resources link?

I've never understood why so much time and energy was spent on creating the FAQ, and yet it's not hosted here, much less publicized as being existent.

Time has shown that many a sailor, given the finest of sextants, still manages to navigate off course.

(That wasn't in response to azimuth's comment, just to the FAQs in general.)

Sure, but there's nothing to be gained by hiding the sextant in a box behind a locked door, is there?

I'd like to echo frykitty's request - it would be great if there was a prominent link to the FAQ and wiki. I think they'd both be of great use to all members of Mefi. Perhaps they should also be linked to whenever new users sign up?

There are quite a number of resources and projects that have been created around MeFi and a central page of links to them would be great. Given the resulting flood that happens whenever anything gets linked on MeFi, it would be best to first make sure that those who provide the resources want them linked permanently, however.

nothing to be gained by hiding

Heh, the effort is to be commended, just don't expect a significant reduction in the # of drunken sea salts.

Wow, did that metaphor get stale fast or what?
