Please help finalise deciding the fate of proposed new tips for February, March and<br>
April. I have put an opinion for each tip, so I just need someone to agree to make a<br>
consensus. Of course if you're inclined to argue, that would be good too - you can<br>
add a comment on the article, or reply here.<br>
<br>
An easy way to agree would be to add a comment in the "General comments" section<br>
saying that you agree with all opinions expressed so far (except where you've<br>
commented on an individual tip).<br>
<br>
If you start here, you can click the links to each month:<br>

Luc started commenting on some of Metacosm's tips in February. However, I have now<br>
put the following note above the list of tips:<br>
<br>
Suggestion: Leave consideration of the following until Metacosm returns.<br>
<br>
Some of you may have missed the thread where Metacosm raised many interesting<br>
issues:<br>

<br>
I don't think it's worthwhile doing anything with Metacosm's tips at the moment. I'm<br>
certainly not going to delete anything from #vim now, or do any work on them. Yet<br>
many of the tips are not what we are used to, so it's easiest just to leave them.<br>

Back home and catching up on everything since May 1st. <br>
<br>As for my tips, they are more in a "help" vein (most of them) and I don't know if they have been getting much traffic (can we track that?) -- and they don't fit very cleanly with the rest of the site. I believe some of them are probably good merge candidates, and I will attempt to find those over the next few weeks, see if I can remove some of them tips that ARE the style you are used too. <br>
<br>As for the purely help-based tips, if you want them removed, I have no issue with it. I still believe there is room on the tips wiki for a help section, and I believe that creating a separate site or wiki for it -- would reduce value. I think many times, the help someone seeks, is just a tip to someone else. I see a great degree of interplay between tips and help. <br>
