I agree, I'm relatively new with PICs so haven't had a chance to
really use the archive yet, though I did look through it for some
samples of interrupt code, but I find the user interface rather
cluttered. The layout is fine, but it feels a bit bloated.

I'm not sure how much work a wiki would be to implement but it would
be nice if we could all contribute to write small articles, link
snippets of code (I know we can do this already, but perhaps in a more
structured way). For example the comments/question section doesn't add
too much in my opinion, allowing editing of the articles themselves so
that suggestions and code fixes etc.. can be implemented by anyone
would be ideal. If there are any questions rather than adding them to
the wiki, they could just be e-mailed directly to the author(s), or to
the piclist.

I am willing to help implement something in a few weeks if wanted, as
I'll have several months of free time before starting Uni.
