An Install Guide and User Guide are in review stages now. These address DigiNow's customers as such and are relatively focused and simple.
Where were we going to collect community / unofficial knowledge?

Yeah... All I can say about it is that the site is the result of the owner having a free Hover URL registration, while being irritated that they couldnt find the torque specs for something... and that it will be up forever.

Its only been up a few days. Im supposed to be writing stuff for it, but since I dont even have a bike sitting here right now, I feel under qualified.

I am the admin.. and yes.. pile on.. pile pile pile. lol

The intent was that I would write up a bunch of stuff to fill it, then release it for everyone else to fill in more content.
However I am busy at home with a newborn, a charger project of my own, and 50 things on the honey-do list... so I havent actually done much content.

Oh! Okay, I can certainly start adding reference links to it. I remember enough threads here that collected information that I can probably condense accurately.

It would be very cool if you do that.
Try to bring the text and info into the wiki, and then put the link as a reference.  That way if the forum or link you're referencing ever goes down, the info is still there.
I havent tried to add any pics yet. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Yes, that's my intent, although I'll start with the thread and external reference links first so I can get a breadth of links and then go deep later.

I think right now I'll encourage the use of the Unofficial Zero Manual at http://zeromanual.com/ for the community-oriented parts worth documenting.

Although I'm unsure how to structure it, it should be fine. There are topics like best practices for charging, a little more theory and troubleshooting tips, and different ways to install a charger that are probably best left to customers instead of manufacturer recommendations.

I've added a "Usage" article to the Zero wiki manual which has a "Travel" section where most of the tips around the SuperCharger should probably live:

http://zeromanual.com/index.php/Usage

Between this page and the official documentation and the unofficial service manual, most points should be addressed or addressable.

Even if you don't have time to write, just making minor corrections or sections to be fleshed out later is immensely valuable.

Just FYI I've been only temporarily free for several weeks, and will be back to my usual working schedule next week, so I'm glad to see others picking up the wiki-tending. I'll definitely have projects that demand learning more and hacking more, and will keep my ear to the ground, but will try to focus more on touring and charging practices than the manual itself.

Brian, I think a charging practices/option section would be awesome.  The guys who C2C and charge everywhere are a wealth of knowledge. I know me as a new Zero owner is confused as heck on all the options/configurations/methods, chargers/adapters etc.
