This looks like a good idea, though I curious to see how you will
organize it when your database of tips gets very large (for example
over 10K tips).  A search engine will undoubtably be needed...

I don't think people will think it inappropriate for you to publish
their suggestions organized in this way (this is not dissimilar to
FAQs or the FAQ-O-Matic) but I do think it is inappropriate for you to
not credit the individuals who wrote the tip as well as copyrighting
them in your name.

I think that if you gave credit to the actual authors of the tips and
removed the "(c) patoche.org" from the LTT pages which are not
entirely your content I think it would be a very good resource for a
lot of people.
