So people mentioned about the five minute attention span for building a 
system.  We did mention running a web service that might be able to 
help, such a feature is available through the Trilinos package but I 
haven't asked them how much it really is a bonus.

Another idea I have seen in growing popularity is to manage a wiki.  It 
would allow people to put up how things work more and give others the 
opportunity to look for more information.  I have actually never managed 
one of these things so I don't know how much work it would be.
