Separate forum section for the wiki?

Since we're starting to get posts about the wiki content, I thought I'd throw this question out there: should we have a separate section in the forum for the wiki, as is the case for Forth, ehBasic, SBC, etc.?

Seperate section in the same forum. Would be more confusing to have far flung forums....

(still the insanely busy type here)

Section for the Wiki

I'll say yes but I won't promise not to change my mind.

On a related note (the Wiki that is). Would it be appropriate to have individual project stuff on the Wiki? I'm thinking of 8-Bit's sbc and kc's 65816 project. I know they already have web sites for those projects so really don't need to update the wiki too.

BUT...

I'm working on a solderless breadboard system (from a kit) and when it gets a few extra goodies added (that aren't part of the kit) I may want to comment on the extra bits somewhere.

Let me clarify that this is what I was referring to: adding another section to this forum, not creating a new forum/website/etc.

A good rule of thumb might be to ask the question "Can someone else who's designing or using a different 6502 system learn something from this?". Even if a design takes a different approach than the Kestrel, Daryl's SBC, Garth's bench SBC, etc. there are still many things that can be learned from them about 6502 hardware and software design, on topics like address decoding, pros and cons of IPL, etc. So that sort of material is perfectly fine for the wiki.
