So I wasn't too off-base about Meetup. Good for Dennis Kucinch but not much for DIY.

My latest communique with the 20 or so who have responded to the DIYWisconsin inquiry included the information about audioroundtable.

Trouble is there are FAQs and forums all over the place and
smidgin of info here and a smidgin of info there. I think the craftsman forum is unique and an excellent addition to this site. It would be a place to archive methods of work.

For instance: there is no place you can go that I know of to find
a step by step with illustrations of how to build a crossover on a piece of the traditional masonite anywhere... anywhere at all including books because I've looked. I'm talking about getting your substrate, what sort of glue to use, method of connection (through the board or surface mount) etc. etc. I can't be the only one who has been on this quest.

Also I made the suggestion to Ed Dell at _audioXpress_ that all
construction projects include the three graphic forms of
schematic, diagram of parts placement and photo of the finished item.

Some of this has come to pass, but it's still dependent pretty much on the individual author.
