I used to hang at another forum called The-NextLevel many moons ago and they had a subforum called "The Circuit Board" where members would ask for general tech support on whatever from other members, put up How-to Guides and the like, etc. Figured I'd float the idea here, see if others might find it worthwhile. Not sure where it should go exactly, but take a look at how it works at TNL:

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/tnl/forums/63-The-Circuit-Board/page2
Example topics to give you a general idea:
"I need a new camcorder" - [Suggestions?]
"Speech to Text Software" - [Suggestions?]
"Why Is My Screen Clipping When I Play Video?"
"Need help with an 'OS not found' error"
"For the Love of God, How Do I Use an XBox 360 Controller with my PC?"
"Converting MPEG to AVI"
"How to Upload Music to Youtube/other"
So yeah, that's the idea in a nutshell. Best placement would be somewhere as a child board in the "Non-NEC Console Related Discussion", I guess under Chit-Chat, cause I'd bet Aaron and whoever wouldn't want a 5th board item appearing in that list.
Well, like or hate the idea? Any interest?
I don't see much need for such a sub-forum. Such questions don't pop up often enough to warrant a dedicated place outside of the normal chit-chat area.
