I think it is an interesting idea. I feel a bit hesitation when it comes to the idea
to link the ubuntu-wiki to the openSUSE-Wiki and vice versa, but I think it would
be a great effort to set up lets say a domain for example called 
http://linuxsolutions.org
where we collaborate together with upstream and other linux distros to document
applications and solution stacks for Linux. However, doesn't that already exist where
we could jump in, for example http://userbase.kde.org? Wouldn't it make more
sense to contribute to these kind of sites and link them? It's upstream where the
efforts have to go imo.
