IMHO there are some very useful hints, ideas etc in wiki
(http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Main_Page), but this valuable information is
sometimes
not obvious for people who are asking on the mailing list.
I think it would be nice and helpful to have something like a "wiki item of
the day" at the
starting page grass.osgeo.org.
any opinion on this? any ideas how this could be implemented?

In general I agree that we can promote the wiki better. Hopefully
the "help site" and "FAQ" links on the homepage get them to the
search tool within the wiki. Also I suspect we could promote the
module help pages more, although the "module of the day" does
help with that and we have the GUI help + g.manual never too far
away.

I think that Helmut suggests to show a preview in a box,
not just adding a one-liner into the main page.
Otherwise, Hamish, please explain where to change what.
The Special:Random URL automatically redirects to a page URL.
Very similar to the "module of the day" (module of the visit?
we could have in the same box a "Tip of the day" or "Hint of the
day", just below it. The js magic which picks the module of the
day could also call the Special:Random URL, and collect the final
URL and the final URL's page <title> to use as the link and the
link text, respectively.

what do you think?
Sounds good - we "just" need the code. I don't see how to rewrite
grassmodules.php to do something for Wiki URLs, too.
