I was keeping a list of these, and I just decided to make it public and build it out a bit. If you have additions/deletions/organization ideas, you can edit it, or just put them on the comment page: http://www.gabrielweinberg.com/startupswiki/Comments_on_Ask_...

Great work, this should really help out newer members, especially if we can get a link up in the navigation bar.

I agree that something like that (a link or a page of links) would be useful to new users (and old). There are other services like HackrTrackr and searchyc that would be useful to link to as well. I can't speak for the others, but I, for one, plan to maintain this page.

Wow, great work!

I even found some posts I made over 180 days ago.

Amazing how much smarter I got in 6 months.

I admire the "no style" style. A touch of good typography, and it turns out very pleasant to read.

So weird... I was thinking of this very idea about an hour ago, but decided I didn't have time to implement it. Very nice implementation! The conversation here is valuable enough to save and annotate...

Yeah, I had been thinking of doing it since first using the site and noticing the repetition in questions and lack of great search. Search has improved, but I still was finding it difficult to quickly find the quality discussions on a given topic. So I finally decided to just do it (and finish it today). I have grander plans for the Startups Wiki in general, but those will have to wait for another day...

+1. Thanks for the effort. For newer members like myself this definitely helps - which also helps the older members since I am not reposting.

Wow! How long did it take to do this manually?
Re:Startups Wiki: Ask YC Archive by epi0Bauqu on Thursday May 08, 2008 @02:33PM (#184840)
Well, I've been saving posts for a while, so that part I'm unclear on. The organization/building out part: ~8 hours. http://ask.searchyc.com helped a lot.

Great resource! Hope you don't mind, we added a link to your wiki on http://ask.searchyc.com
Re:Startups Wiki: Ask YC Archive by epi0Bauqu on Monday May 12, 2008 @05:34PM (#188037)
Np. I put a link to http://ask.searchyc.com where it said "Ask YC".

Why is there are Rails and a RoR section, they're the same thing. (Are there not any pure Ruby questions on YC too?)
Re:Startups Wiki: Ask YC Archive by epi0Bauqu on Thursday May 08, 2008 @08:49PM (#185104)
My bad. Fixed. I must have switched the name mid way through, and didn't realize when cleaning it up. (Yes, I know they are the same thing.)

There is a Ruby vs Lisp q under X vs Y (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=98227). Otherwise, I didn't see any pure Ruby questions. But if you have some saved, I'd be happy to add them. Or you can.

Everyone has already said this, but I want to give you my own thanks. Cheers to you, sir!

you know, what good will this do if new users don't see this when coming to the site?
Re:Startups Wiki: Ask YC Archive by tjweir on Thursday May 08, 2008 @03:15PM (#184892)
+1 Awesome. Thanks for your effort, this is an excellent resource.
