I think a wiki on specific topics would be a cool idea.
There are many articles on CodeProject, but many of they are very similar.
It doesn't make sense for example to create ten articles about working threads and so on.
So I think that there should be a wiki with a small team of admins that create big topics, e.g. threads, stream sockets, dgram sockets, streaming, audio, 3d, specific mathematic topics, and so on, and every user can add/change things.
So it could be possible that every user of CodeProject could improve articles to make everything better! So we could write good article texts instead of buggy source code, which can be very time consuming for a single person. That would make life easier!
What do you think?
I think the diversity of articles on the same subject is one of CodeProject's strengths. I prefer to read articles that have a single author's voice, rather than a tech document built by a committee.

I see that you did not even understand the concept of wikis!
Don't try it, just do it!

I well aware of how wikis work. The trouble with them is that the contents receives so many edits that it is no longer the work of an individual. I prefer to read a personal view on the subject and not get into pissing contests on whose view is more correct.
Wikis have their place. I just don't feel that place is on CodeProject

A wiki can of course not replace the old article system, but it can extend it. We need a wiki because we can combine difference nice aspects that way!
The articles about the win32 api can be replaced by a wiki, but not all the other articles.
Don't try it, just do it!

I like wiki concept.
Is not a comitee, is like a consensual style of writing. Useful for a knowledge base.
I know of dotnet.wikis.com, but I like more a wiki on the style of wikipedia, powered by wikimedia.
I'm not aware of a wiki implemented on .Net with all the features of wikimedia, if you can find a good one, would be cool, a wiki of .Net using php doesn't looks good.
BTW, I have the resources to start a mediawiki, but again, I like to see it over asp.net.

How about letting a person choose whether or not they want to see votes on messages? For example, I don't really like the voting on messages in the Lounge so I wouldn't mind not seeing all the colours, votes and voting options. I know there is a noise option but it doesn't remove the colours and votes totally.
Not a serious thing - I can live with the colours 
The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.
If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

Drivers are an odd thing:
Written in C, but the complexity is not the C language.
Functionally simple, yet fiendishly complex.
They dont fit into the other forums, C++, operating systems for example.
So can we have a new forum for windows and linux driver developement?

In Firefox, all the forums I visit are too big for the screen, they seem to be about five pixels to wide and this is causing a scroll-bar to appear. I don't know if this is the same issue.

The code snippets (inside the PRE blocks) are too wide. Restrict their width to 600 pixels and you'll be fine.

As Nish said - keep the source code snippets fully visible within the edit window when editing the article and you'll be fine. I've gone ahead and made some edits to illustrate. Take a look now.

A place to post answers to the same questions that keep coming up on the lounge over and over and over and over and over ...etc.
I floated the idea in the lounge: http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=1195457#xx1195457xx[^]
and it seemed to be well received.
