It might help if the input from people taking a hack at the questions do so in a structured format. for example :what is xxxxx and how does it apply to xxxx ?-----------------------------------------------------------1 . One line definiton (math/ non-math)2. how would you explain it to your uncle who is a history major :3. simple numerical or other example4. simple real life situation 5. good reference to start with (non-math / math/ super - math)6. further read (non-math / math/ super - math)K.

The setup is like the way patterns are documented.These is a lot of very useful information hidden in posts that is very hard to find later. The above structure would help a lot (search capabilities)Proposal as a follow-up to point 47 The Applicability of the method in general QF context. (maybe some ready-made templates one could fill in)
