My experience with these things is that the only way they happen is if
you do them yourself and its a very long and often thankless task.
I've created an index thread on a couple of forums and always ask
people to submit suggestions but they very rarely do. So it is up to
me to scour weeks/months of thread to try and pick out the good stuff.

I wish more people would create online articles discussing something
they know about. There are no books on home CNC really and I can see
why, who would dare to suggest they had all the answers but some
people definitely have some of the answers to some of the questions.
Surely the subject of homeCNC is mature enough for putting down some
solid foundations, perhaps a wiki would be a convenient way to publish
such articles.
