Let me start by saying, I would be glad to help with forum maintenance and sticky development. I am a night owl usually stopping in from between 8pm to 8am Eastern Standard Time (-5 GMT).

I've reviewed the thread and I am all for Read-only stickies that point to or describe solutions. It should save me the trouble of bookmarking so many threads.

I'm not a developer, programmer or regex expert but I know what I know and most of the time I am successful at conveying to others what I know. I also usually recognize what I don't know and stay away or help gather information so when others with the know how arrive they won't have to guess at what is being asked.

The one thing I did notice (of myself) was that after the recipes were sent off to a sub-forum I stopped trying to deal with recipes anymore. So as sub-forums are created, for this to be successful, folks will have to work a little more to keep up with their areas of oversight or interest.

One last thing the manual in a wiki would be nice. When I write documentation, no matter how many times I review it there are at least 3 things I see that need correcting immediately after publishing. A wiki setting would also allow our (I can't remember who) self professed proofreader(s) a chance to use his or her skills easily without jumping through too many hoops.
