hello Christian, i thing its not bad idea, but the key point whether we have somebody who is going to maintain it regularly... it is you :) ? i just discovered the feature which could be one such "tip". we could encourage users to submit these tips and devels to offer not so visibile parts of their features... i can help you to setup such announcement, but i'm not in a mood to maintain it orderly... pavel
