I did. The tips page has many has very interesting information. But
it is organized as a sequences of postings and in paragraph format.
So I think it is a bit hard to extract the tips from it. It is also 
very long. 

I think a good tip for them here would be to show them how to use
bullets.

I see how writing their nuggets of knowledge on a public web page would
empower the kids, and teach them a way to construct knowledge 
colaboratively.

I noticed that many wanted to sign their ideas, mentioning their
own names.

I wonder if the kids actually take the time to read what others have
written and use it for their projects, or if they prefer to get 
information from sources prepared by adults.
