Yes, Tomasz is considering hosting the site at amibroker.org

Herman is the leader for the project (elected in absentia).
Tomasz and Herman have discussed Wiki sites etc.
I believe that WordPress will be used as it offers some advantages
over Wiki sites and also maintains compatibility with Ami's
KnowledgeBase.
Compatibility provides easier management for AmiBroker and seamless
transition for users from AmiKB to User'sKB.
I can't see your vision for the index in the way that you do so I am
not sure where it would fit in.
Also I don't know what the final outcomes for the UserKB will be or
what WordPress is capable of.
Documentation at WordPress could clarify that for you:
http://wordpress.org/
If you want to do something I am sure there would be a place for it.
If you are interested in helping why not scope your idea and talk it
over with Tomasz.
He is a good filter to see if it is worth the effort in the long run.
Herman is away for a week.
He can provide more info later.
His idea is that the UKB members will provide ongoing maintenance
and/or development to make the site as dynamic as possible.

Agreed.
A lot of knowledge is shared in the forum and some of it gets lost or
devalued amongst the discussion.
That was where my initiative started from; a desire to have an
AmiBroker owned site with some structure that allowed easy file
access in and out.
WordPress has an underlying database structure so it is fully
searchable etc.
It is also extendable with plugins and can accommodate more advanced
publishing for those with the skills.
It also provides for Categories and sub-Categories, although to my
mind they are somewhat academic when a site can be searched by
keywords.
Articles can belong to several categories etc which IMO makes for
better indexing than a hierarchical folder structure.

Thanks for providing some balance.
It is a very fine line we walk between not stifling debate, accepting
feedback and gathering suggestions for improvement while at the same
time keeping things in perspective and avoiding offence.
I don't think anyone can imagine what it is like to answer to several
hundred users via public sites and the demands that places on the
person sitting in the chair.
Brian.
