Let me be somewhat provocative. Most of the sticky threads served a purpose. But no longer. Who is going to wade through 738 postings looking for the latest status of "Kobo future firmware feature request thread"?

Similar with 215 postings in Quick Guide to Shelf Mgmt, etc. Sorry but that's no longer quick.

Instead replace each of the stickys with a wikipedia page. Or set of pages.

For example the firmware feature requests could each have a one line entry on a master page with a detail page describing the feature request and the scenario. Once it's in the firmware then it gets moved to the bottom of the feature request wiki page as done.

Some with the FAQ page. One line per FAQ entry with a paragraph or a detail page describing the FAQ.

Now yes this means work for the MobileRead system administrators. OTOH once it's setup this site, in my opinion, becomes a lot easier for regular folks to use.
