It's a nice idea.

One virtue of the 'net, in theory, it would make gathering info easier.

There is a Vanagon Wiki:

http://www.vanagonwiki.net/index.php/VanagonWiki

If I'm not mistaken, it was started by Mike Elliot (aka "Rocket", "Mr Squirrel")

I've found LOTS of useful info on personal web pages and the Vanagon
archives. Searching takes time though. Maybe encouraging people more
to take the time to post their knowledge to the Wiki, "repository"
might help.

Maybe like the humour content "Fryedays", maybe there could be a Wiki
Wednesday?

Another far fetched thought from a wandering mind.... --- ;^)

For sure there's nothing like a book/DVD in hand but I find the
combination of Bentley, searching the archives/web pages and help from
listers to be really useful.

Cheers,

Neil.
