Right now, there's a lot of useful info on this forum - details about the materials, painting and sanding models; however, it's kinda hard to know what has or has not been discussed before - sure, you can search the threads, but it's a pain, really.
Wouldn't a wiki be a better way of managing this kind of information? The forum would be used for support and discussion, and the wiki would hold... well, the universally 'useful info' 
Maybe it'd be a good idea to put the tutorials there too, and let people create new ones?
Just thoughts

Interesting idea!
What would good topics on the wiki? I can think of material finishing, modeling tips, 3D export howtos, anything else?
Is a wiki easy enough for all / most people also participating in the forums?
Cheers!

Having a wiki is a great idea. You could put all the tutorials and material info already on the site in it, and of course we could consolidate all of our discussions into wiki form. I'd certainly contribute! Look into MediaWiki. It's what wikipedia uses, and it is very very easy to edit.

Yes, MediaWiki is nice and scales very well. Good suggestion.
Thanks Whystler for your extensive list of topics.

Really nice--you've done a lot of the work for us, Whystler.
I'm picking up and looking into this feature once again and would like to add it to my development schedule. Since this thread was started, have you had further thoughts on what you'd like to see on a Shapeways community wiki?
-Ben
