Marielle,

What I would look for (in addition to Timothy's reply) is an easy way  
to navigate to information based on general to specific structure.   
Sort of like discovering what you want by 20 questions game.   
Searching for information requires that you know what to call  
something.  However, a newbie does not know what to call something in  
revspeak yet.  A newbie has a problem to solve, and wants to find  
ideas for how to solve the problem in Transcript.  This list is very  
good for getting that information from the experts for the asking,  
but not so easy to find the previously posted solutions without a lot  
of reading.  I would like to see the information organized by general  
topic to specific topic in a hierarchy where many different starting  
paths can still lead to the same information. This is not like flat  
structures (like a table of contents) or simple hierarchies (like an  
outliner) or random hypertext links.  These all take a lot of time  
and reading to find the solutions to problems.  I am just starting to  
use wikis, so I don't even know if the wiki form could support such a  
linking scheme.

Having the docs and examples organized this way would get me coming  
back to such a site as my first choice for information, and I would  
desire to contribute to it.  I am sure it would be quite compelling  
for newbies and experienced scripters alike.
