Sometimes you get those "Eureka!!" moments when something that's been bothering you for ages suddenly makes sense. (In my case it was how to make relative symlinks that aren't broken. :) )

Where's the best place to share that kind of insight?
Absolute beginner talk?
Cafe?
General support?
(Tips and Tutorials would be way overkill I think.)
Just keep it to yourself?

How about handy snips of BASH code and the like?

On the most relevant pages of the wiki?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/

I think the tips and tutorials would actually be appropriate. (I think the wiki is sacred ground and should only contain the most relevant material in a well structured form! ;))

If you do post to tips&tuts, there will be a review of the posting before making it public, it can take a few days but don't be scared.

They say that one of the best parts of Ubuntu is the community. This sure sounds like a community stuff.

T&T is OK so long as your post meets the criteria defined in the sticky. Making symlinks is easy once you know how, I wouldn't say it's complete trivial though. I certainly had problems!

BTW, wiki.ubuntu.com is the team wiki area and also contains a lot of very unofficial documentation and guides. help.ubuntu.com is the official system docs in html format, and help.ubuntu.com/community are the Community Docs. The Community Docs are where the best supported guides should be hosted and maintained, and there is a lot of linking and redirecting between the team wiki and the community docs.

Thanks all.
I'll send something to T&T - definitely more a tip than a tutorial, but the criteria laid out in that sticky look reasonable enough
