I have a suggestion regarding Slackware Wiki.
To the main page a section called something like "Program-Specific Installation instructions / Application database" should be added. This section could have subsections like "Physical Sciences", "CAD" "Engineering" etc.
Go ahead and post your docs !
I guess we all have some personal HOWTOs in our /home, and if it worked for us, it may work for others
Hmm... all the years as a member at /. and I've finally succeeded in getting an article accepted. And, as usual, it has generated many interesting and informative (much facetiousness here) replies there.

I have quite a few how-tos accumulated over the years. Many are posted on my blog. However, I haven't quite determined how I should best convert them for wiki publication... still contemplating that.

It's produced one of the better pro-Slackware arguments I've seen:
I did some editing before I became an "official" editor, too. If you want to be an "official" editor, or administrator, see this page: http://docs.slackware.com/slackdocs:contact
Actually, since this project is contained in a Wiki, you can contribute any piece of Slackware related knowledge quite effortlessly. All you have to do in order to contribute is register an account on http://docs.slackware.com/ , create a new page and start documenting.

I am going to ask a really dumb question... I perused the docs.slackware.com pages, and didn't see a single reference to creating an account. Am I missing it, or...??
EDIT: I'm an idiot... Found it.
