(sigh) wow...and so it begins. Voting to close this.

Lesson learned: if you start a pure-play community wiki, no-one will come. If you start it, upvote people, then convert it, people will rain suggestions on you from everywhere. This is a big problem in my eyes, and I'm starting to think that the "wiki" concept needs a lot of rework.

Whelp, it looks like another quandry: I can either punish myself by deleting or closing the question and loose the bounty I put into this, or I can answer the question myself to salvage the failed bounty attempt, but I don't like do thing that. So, what should happen? Seems like no-one is going to do anything, and I don't see why it should be fair that I'm punished for trying to do something "nice" for the community.

Jeff, we have a quandry here. There have been no postings, but I suddenly find that at least 7 people are interested in this question and 8 more have marked it as "favorite". Guess it's time to haul out a bounty? (hauls out a 50-point chunk of flesh) ouch! That stings. Well, let's see what happens.

Looks like we're going to close this, unless there's some action in the next 12 hours. Anyone care to post?

Very well. Tags are nice, but I find they are a lot more effort to sift through than to have a one-stop-shop page that has all of the relevant links on it. The second goal was to do a little mental exercise, if all of the recommendations from SF were used to run a conceptualized group of servers for some purpose, what would that look like? But if everyone's for tags, I won't buck the trend, so I'll close the question. How's this: if I don't get another bite in a week's time, I'll close it, fair enough?

Then I have to open each and every one to find "the answer". Tagging is great from a "self-organizing" perspective, but it's the lazy way out, IMHO.

That's certainly the idea. :) But it's a large task to do this, and I want people to nominate what they think is important. A quick glance at the question section shows there are several thousand questions, but only a few are best-practice related. I figured, this would make a handy place to aggregate those answers together, instead of having to search for each one. So, I'm willing to add answers and maintain this for a bit, if people are willing to chip in a little bit.
