What's a wiki and why contribute?
Everyone knows something (rarely everything) about some topic - in this case we're talking about FileMaker software. This means the community pool of information is greater than that of the individual. In order to consolidate this information, a website like this wiki allows for the greatest concentration of information.
What's really great about this form of collaboration is that you can track the wiki as it evolves. To do this you can use a news aggregator. You can watch the recent changes by adding this link to your news aggregator application. XML Feed for Recent Changes
