What people like myself who have never been involved in SFD, and would like to get information about how things ran in previous years? We don't want to do things that are ineffective or "wrong". If I could browse through old forums / wiki pages / whatever then I could get a head-start.
I'd much rather learn from other peoples mistakes than my own.
Hear hear, learning from other people's experience is a core FOSS value! A wiki page would be a good place to put this - the forums, being threaded and perhaps a bit confusing, might not be the ideal location for such information. Take a look at http://softwarefreedomday.org/lessons Currently there are a few lessons from 2004 (nudge to experienced SFDers: please post your 2005 experiences/reminiscences for people to learn from!) so you can get some info there.
