So... I'm not really feeling the Wiki and I feel it defeats the  
purpose of curating the docs. Feeling this will quickly grow to be  
outdated, and I haven't seen it organized to the level I'd like to  
see.

I generally feel blog posts are a better way to talk about ansible  
things and we can link to some interesting ones.

I wanted to add a link to a blog and I see the Wiki has gone.

I would like to have a place where I can start adding plays doing specific things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;- Systems management examples  
&nbsp;&nbsp;- Installation of IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Commvault Simpana, VMWareTools,  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;etc...

We don't have such a location, and I prefer a collective work over a list of blog-posts. Blog posts get outdated too (and there's nobody going to fix them).

A Wiki is a really bad place to keep playbooks because people have to  
copy and paste things.

Do you know what is a really excellent solution?

Github!

We already have this, and can use the existing contrib page to link to  
those interesting playbooks, which has been what we are doing.

The only thing we lack is folks to contribute more playbooks.
