[EDIT]: Okay, I clearly intercommunicated on my first attempt, so I'm clarifying my whole post. I am not interested in promoting zsh through Q&A regarding arbitrary features. I am interesting in promoting zsh as a system administration and server diagnostic utility with significantly more advantages over other, more ubiquitous sysadmin tools. So that being said, I'm going to go through this question below and edit it accordingly...

I am interested in getting more sysadmins aware of specific features of zsh that apply directly to sysadmin activities and server diagnostic / troubleshooting tasks. These capabilities are not present in other shells, and are not commonly known.

What I'd like to do is:

1. Post a question of the form "How exactly does feature SUCH-AND-SUCH in zsh work, and how can it be applied to common sysadmin tasks I have encountered?"
2. Immediately answer my own question in a way that is clear, concise, and makes people think "Oh wow - that is a great feature. I should try that."

Or is this something that would be encouraged?

Can all of you in the community help me get a feel for if this behavior is frowned upon? Thanks!

[I am asking about promoting a specific app, but this question could be generalized to any app]

I am interested in getting more people interested in zsh on serverfault.com, as I feel it is an extremely powerful and useful shell. Relative to other shells, there aren't a lot of questions on the topic.

There are several very neat, powerful features which not a lot of folks know about, and that are not offered in other shells. Is it taboo to:

1. Post a question of the form "How exactly does feature SUCH-AND-SUCH in zsh work, and what is it used for?"
2. Immediately answer my own question in a way that is clear, concise, and makes people think "Oh wow - that is a great feature. I should try that."

Or is this something that would be encouraged? In one sense, I could see this approach being subjective, kind of a "I think XYZ app is awesome - here's why". But on the other hand, I feel these types of posts could be extremely educational and enlightening.
