The need for the search tool is in compiling this list of already
submitted articles.  We have a huge archive and it would be a pity to
not make use of it for this project.

My suggestion the last several times this came up was to publish this
group or articles on CD, so that it could be tossed in a glovebox when
on journeys.

A negative to the project is the liability of bad advice.  I'd suggest
that we nominate a review board to verify that the articles published
be, if not correct, at least not dangerous to the driver/mechanic.

I suggest an easier way.  Start with categories (ie: Rust Prevention,
Maintenance, Fuel, Suspension, Brakes) and then accept contributions for
each area.  In many cases the type2.com articles could be used for
issues
like Por-15 and whatever else applies.

Start from scratch, put it into categories and no search tool will be
required.  So if you need to know about brakes, well you look in the
brake
index, etc....

Just add a link to 'Library' under the vanagon.com mainpage and get is
going from there.  :)
