Written Logos Android reference needed

I am really enjoying having Logos on my tablet.  So far I am using it most during my morning devotions.  When I come across a verse or passage that I want to dig into a little more it's nice to just pull up the Passage Guide and read some of the commentaries.  One of my frustrations with my study Bible has been that far too often I find that there are no comments on the particular scripture/phrase I'm wanting to look up -- so far Logos has solved that problem.

However, getting to the point of this usefulness has been a long and arduous process.  Trial and error learning is always a time waster, and, except for a few videos on YouTube, that's how I've had to learn to use this app.  This forum helps, but it, too, uses up a lot of time.  A written reference would be really nice!  Logos may not have the resources to put into that, so how about a wiki with a link from this forum?  That shouldn't be too hard to set up and it would allow all of us who use this forum to share the knowledge we've worked so hard to gain, helping newbies in the process.

Thoughts, anyone?

    how about a wiki with a link from this forum? 
    So, I just found a Wiki for Logos with a section for Logos Mobile, but there are only two entries and they are mostly useless.  That's not a good sign.

    Well, I tried to create a page on the Wiki to get us started, but got snarled up right from the start.  Never having ever done anything with a wiki before, that's not surprising.  Anyway, I copied the text below from the FAQ's.  We could use this list to help get some structure started on a Logos Android section.  What do you think?

    Anybody know how to edit a wiki?

    There is a section called Wiki Editing at http://wiki.logos.com/

    Go for it!

    NOTE:  Press the Edit tab to change a wiki page. Use it to get(copy) formats from existing pages (always hit Cancel to leave the page if not changing it). To see what your changes look like use the Preview button.

    And there it sits, in plain sight for all to see, and me blind as a mole in his hole!

    Thanks, Dave!
