I decided to set up the HTC Wizard Web Community web site when I had been running the HTC Wizard Blog for about a month. The number of visitors of the HTC Wizard Blog was rising, and more and more people started asking questions I could not answer.

I wanted those questions to be answered for those people, but did not have sufficient time to go find all the answers myself. I did notice however, that some people started to help eachother in the comments. That's when it struck me that any question could probably be answered if I would create a community website where people can ask their questions and answer other peoples questions. All it would take is a website that allowed for structured archiving of all questions and their answers.

The Content Management System that the HTC Wizard Web community web site is built on, Drupal, does just that. It allows people to ask questions, answer other peoples questions, and it allows people to share information the have that could answer questions that have not been answered yet. On top of that, Drupal allows to archive all that information in a very structured way by adding the information to the handbooks.
