On top of that I have been trying to keep up with the WotC Staff blogs and the general 4e forums both here and on the WotC forums. I'd like to think that my understanding of 4e and the D&DI is pretty clear and thorough, but I'm sure there's so much information I am missing as well as others, which brought a serious problem to my attention.WotC desperately needs a single source for distributing or collating all things related to 4e, and there is no such source. Instead, we are all scrambling around the web trying to find whatever we can. Additionally, while the podcasts are nice to listen to, they are not the best method for delivering the details of what WotC has planned for the D&DI.For example, the only mentioning I've seen or heard of a price for the online activation fee for e-copies of books indicated that it would probably be $1. Don't ask me where or when I heard or saw that, because I can't remember, and I doubt many others know about that estimated cost as well.Here are my suggestions:1. Create an official D&D 4e site.2. Include links to all of the videos and podcasts that contain information about 4e. Include bulleted lists of key topics covered in each podcast and YouTube video.3. Provide a link to an FAQ that answers all questions pertaining to 4e. Make it a shared file that all of the staff can add to. If a significant number of forum users ask a question, and a WotC staff member answers it with a significant peice of information, that staff member should add it to the document. If someone asks a question that has already been answered, refer them to that document.4. Add links to the staff blogs, specifically those that discuss 4e. Some of them are just about travelling or general GenCon bits. Too bad these aren't in a true blog system with tags that can be applied to each post.5. Encourage staff to post their comments and opinions about the changes in 4e on an official WotC blog rather than personal blogs. As an example, Keith Baker's blog shared some insights on 4e and Eberron and I only came across it by chance. I think it's something he should have posted somewhere on WotC's site for everyone to find it.Whether or not you do any or all of these, there needs to be a central "go to" resource for all information related to 4e.</blockquote>
