I suggest we make a link to any official KB where available in the form [[http://help.textdrive.com/kburl KB 123]] or something similar. --Gtcaz 06:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about this. Sometimes the KB articles go out of date...

i second this. we should minimize linking without duplicating the corresponding text in the wiki. there nothing more annoying than finding an answer to a question in the form of a link, only to have said link be dead. ideally, for anything we link to in the official KB (or from any non-TextJoy sites) we should duplicate at least the most important details of the link text in the wiki (unless the link is to some source like the wikipedia that is very unlikely to go tits-up). this also provides the benefit of not needing to labor as often checking to see if links are still valid.

I disagree. What if the KB is updated and then the wiki is out of date? In my experience KB articles rarely disappear. Sometimes they become out of date and, if they do, that's when we should wikitize an updated version here. I don't think users are well served by having two potentially competing answers and then being forced to sort out which answer is newer/better on their own. This wiki should be able to coexist with the KB, not replace it.

I just think we should point to the official word on the topic. We can indicate that atm it's out of date or incomplete. I think it's useful to have the link right there. --Gtcaz 18:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
