I actually think, we're talking about different things here. Sometimes, 
there are answers like:

    
http://contra.vosn.net/pipermail/pmwiki-users_pmichaud.com/2004-March/003757.html

which provide a quick and easy solution to a problem. Sometimes, it's 
stuff like:

    Well, I'm tired of searching...
I mean, sometimes there are hints that are not really useful on its own, 
but in the context of a bigger
extension (cookbook-module).
I think, one kind should go into the cookbook, the other into development.

If I think about it a bit closer, I think the cookbook itself might be 
needing some refactoring.
There are small configuration changes like
    http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/DisableWikiWords
and on the other hand larger modules like
    http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/Cookbook/PHPDiffEngine         ;-)
Which include downloading php-files and including them.

I think, some of the could easily be converted into Cookbook recipes.
Some of the CookBook-Recipes are actualley module extensions. I think 
they should go into a new section (maybe even a different WikiGroup). 
And the development-hint-answers should go there as well.
