Yes, I think it would be very helpful to create a new base of Corona knowledge. Or at least a faq. Much has changed since a4. Someone else also thought of this (at least I think so ;) ).

I think the problem is that corona is still changing a lot and we should be very careful about what we want to be published "forever" in the internet ;) We may start a thread with tips and tricks with EXPLICITLY mentioning the current used version (and confirmation of keymaster would be great for each posting). I guess a lot of things may again change when we start to use adaptive solvers.

Personally I would recommend to actively read the forums and simply test things out. The key to success is to understand the functions and the tech behind it.
Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.

Nothing is ever set is stone on internet, that is the last thing I would worry about, confusing people when it is not longer actual.

The thread is very good idea. The one you linked to Maru is bit chaotic, and just demanding answers. It should be something more organized. But maybe even such viral start could be good.

I disagree with notion of reading forum and actively testing things out just being the best solution to be it all, everyone does this to certain degree, but it is nevertheless wasteful use of time, because no one benefits from outside knowledge, which is something every industry is built upon. If everyone decided to "find out for yourself", no one actually gets anywhere. And testing out, doesn't necessarily correlates to understanding, merely just rough idea of it, that could be corrected if compared to other people's experiences. Even the most logical written tech, doesn't guarantee understanding after prolonged use. The value of technical know-how is bit overpriced in these times.

Hmm hmm, I think I'll start with some making-of once I finish my project.

Completely agree on this, and even more than that -sharing your level of knowledge is absolutely wonderful in such cases when we are just in the beginning of stepping on an undiscovered land. For instances

sometimes I need to crank up pt samples to 64 while leaving light sampling as it is.
it would be very kind to know in what exactly type of scenes or light scenarios. It is strongly recommended to have a FAQ, completed by the most experienced artists in Corona, off course understanding that the most active and knowledgeable members are also humans and most of time they are busy.

Thats a damn good idea!
