As the author of the original post you cited, I'd like to say "well done!" for getting this off the ground.

In the spirit of continuous improvement, here are some ideas...

• Allow links in the comments. My original plan was not so much to create a whole new forum for discussion, but rather a place for links to existing resources. (Of course, I realise you're implementing your plan and not mine :-))
• Allow editing of comments - kind of like Wikipedia. That way, if someone starts a 'DBI' page (for example), then over time links to tutorials and FAQs and articles can be added without creating a huge number of threads for a user to search through.
• Put a search entry box directly in the top nav bar - make it default to the module (distribution?) names search behaviour.
• Incorporate the average ratings data directly into the main page for a distribution - I'm sure you could get it if you ask ask.
