I'd love to have this. Having newbies be able to post would be important too.
+1. If you've got the notion, I second that emotion.
Hopefully this would be done.
Also, the newbies should also have access to it.

+1 Security concerns and how to overcome them is a very pressing issue for the Bitcoin community as a whole. A place where knowledge and good practice can be shared will make the job of thieves much harder.

Great idea
we need a security section, now more than ever.
Great idea. I have been struggling with some of these things. 
I too think that's a good idea.
I'd also like a security subforum.
There was a thread started by Vladimir, describing his scheme for backing up wallets. I can't find it now, but it should also be on the OP's list.
Backup is an easily solved task. We have a lot of solutions already in the forum.
The hard task is to protect your active working machine running bitcoin.

Can some administrator please give a response? Do you like that idea?

I think howtos should be placed in the wiki, but we can link and discuss howtos and generate new howtos from discussing security problems and solutions.
Agreed. This is a very good example.
Extremely important. Should also have some howtos for newbies. A good understanding of security tools and their limitations is essential when online anyways, bitcoin or not. Now with people in charge of their own BTC (basically running their own personal banks), these issues are more pressing than ever.
Secure air-gapped computers, crypto, backups, OS issues, etc should all be discussed.
