Perhaps. Nevertheless the way it is organized on the Italian board seems easy to find too. If only one sticky acts as an index, and is maintained by a specific user, then he/she can sort of "supervise" the guide quality/utility before adding it to the sticky post. On the other hand, the Italian solution allows for a decentralized approach, where all guides are concentrated under one child board. The downside to this is what I mentioned previously: not all guides there are good really, but anyone can add a guide to something there.

I guess that, from a quality point of view, the single user managed sticky thread would be better, but from the freedom to add a guide point of view, then the latter option is fine. One option is like an index, and the other like a directory.
