cool tips for Sprout

Hello all,

We're recently discussing how to get "cool features" write ups
for Sprout.

Just browsing through a few days worth of posts to nbusers,
I found a couple of great sounding tips from Jiri (cc'ed).

Create a custom right-click menu + command :

http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=621104&listName=nbusers

Set up a CVS server on Win for team development - not
specifically for/about NB, but the instructions are very
nice step by step, relevant to any developer, and this
is something a lot of ppl are interested in.  Also, how
to set up a CVS server for a single user, just to keep
your own source version controlled :

http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=492889&listName=nbusers

All 3 of these are great tips, and I have a feeling would
be of interest if ppl could find them ... do others agree ?
Maybe experienced NB users know these things ... but the
fact that ppl are asking about it on nbusers means not
everyone knows.

If yes, some ideas :

1) Can we ask someone (docs, marketing, webteam) to take
the content from Jiri's mails, and format it/turn it into
a little HTML guide ? Either as a "stand alone" web page,
or only as a cool tip for a Sprout ?

2) How can we make sure we catch more of these things
as they go by on the lists ?  Encourage developers to
submit them to nbmarketing/webteam ?  Have someone comb
the lists watching for such stuff (not such a good option
IMO) ? ... ?

3) Is this even a good idea ? :-)
