Tomasz,
Yes that is exactly right. If
the reader has found a particular article extremely useful and they want
everyone to know about it they might give it a 10 star rating (out of
a max 10) on the contrary someone else might read the same article and give
it a 6 star rating. So the displayed rating would be an average. There are
many variations on the theme but this gives an opportunity for new
users to see what others think of the content and to quickly get the most
useful articles to the top of the list. Obviously this will all take time
to grow and take shape and will be in addition to the vetting for corrections,
just because an article is correct doesn't mean it reads well or is all that
useful.

Re: FILTER questions.
William,
I am not sure what you mean with 'rating system'? Do you want
to allow to vote for or rate 'usefullness' of descriptions or comments
?

Tomasz,
It's a good beginning, i'm
not sure there will be a huge amount of entries each week.
Along with your vetting
procedure how hard would it be to add a user rating system for each entry,
that way they could be sorted by user rating, would this be worthwhile
?

Re: FILTER questions.
William,
I guess that one solution would be to extend the
functionality of existing solution as follows:
1. whenever entry is created I get the e-mail notification
2. new entries are marked as "NOT VERIFIED" so the reader is
alerted that this entry was not reviewed / verified by me
3. Once a week or so I review entries and change their
status to "VERIFIED".
What do you think ?
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

Its a great
concept, but I can see what you mean. The only way that I can see
around this would be for you to edit and correct each entry,
ultimately you are responsible for this particular area and I know this is a
big ask. I fully agree that each of the additions would need to be fully
vetted but as you say how to do!
The idea of having it ALL
in one easy to get at area is the way to go, having another document
floating around would not be as effective.
I'll keep thinking about it
too and maybe some others have some suggestions.

William,
This idea was already implemented in AFL on-line function
reference
<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/
(See "Comments" section for example:
<A
href="">http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?name=EQUITY
)
For some months there was a "Add comment" edit field and
button that allowed
to add comments. Unfortunatelly some people starting to
ask questions that way
thinking that this is a user forum, while the intention
was to allow people to
expand existing docs.
Asking questions there was a problem because:
- there was no notification mechanism so I was not aware
if/when question was asked
- sometimes various people answered with invalid answers
and this has created confusion
(there is nothing worse than misleading docs)
When I have been reviewing the database of entries I had
to delete some misleading
comments because this database is used to create AFL
funciton reference in actual guide
and information has to be correct. After fixing many
entries manually I decided to turn this feature
OFF.
Now I am wondering how to turn this ON again
but in
a 'safe' way so comments submissions are
correct.
Best regards,Tomasz Janeczkoamibroker.com

I think Yuki's idea is a
wonderful idea. This is a perfect opportunity for AFL beginners to learn
by DOING, as Ron said just having to get it all down in a readable fashion
is an effort that will pay dividends.
I'm wondering whether all
these descriptions could be added to the AmiBroker help file
(after the appropriate editing and corrections). Another
possibility would be for Tomasz to add them to the mySQL database with a
HTML link in the AmiBroker Help file, that way it wouldn't blow out the
size of the Help file and any changes/additions would be dynamic. So if an
enquirer clicked on the relevant <A
href=""
target=_blank>See updated/extended version on-line. link they
would get all additions and changes.

Yuki said>><FONT
face=Arial>A specific example of practical
usage should be given for AFLfunctions in the reference, I
think. These examples should bewritten in NON-PROGRAMMING prose.
^_^ They should be the antithesisof Linux MAN pages. They should
take little grasshoppers like me andlead them to discovering practical
usages for the function.I would be willing to help anyone that
would like to work on thistype of project. I'm afraid, though,
that my contribution would belimited to cleaning up the wording, and
making it clear. And also,if I can understand it, it's probably
a great filter for 'ready' or'not
ready'.Yuki
<FONT

<FONT
face="Times New Roman">==============================================
I am willing to contribute
to Yuki's request for volunteers to write non-techie
descriptions of how Amibroker works. Below, I have written a non-techie
answer to a post by Glen which asked about the setting n=1 in
AA.
Anthony's answer is obviously correct, but
I am rewriting it here in the kind of very thorough
and non-tech manner that Yuki and I would like to be able
to read in the users manual. Such non-tech
descriptions as Yuki suggests will be of enormous help other
non-tech newbys and users. Amibroker users will need
to suggest changes to this description if it is not
totally accurate. Also, please suggest changes if you have idea's of
how to make this description clearer. <FONT
face="Times New Roman"> The
description is directly below.
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>=======================================================================
When you set n=1, AA
will check only the latest dated bar in your database in order
to see if your AFL conditions has been met on only the latest dated
bar. However, while Amibroker is executing your particular AFL
instructions, it still needs to retrieve data from earlier
dated bars in order to produce things such as moving average
calculations, and other calculations that will be required
by your AFL coding.<FONT
face="Times New Roman">
When you set n=10, Amibroker
will follow exactly the same procedure that it did
when you set n=1. The only difference is , Amibroker will first check
the bar that is positioned 10 periods back from the present
bar. A period will be in seconds, minutes, hours,
days, months, or whatever you happen to have available in
your database for Amibroker to check. Once Amibroker is
through checking the 10'th bar back, it moves forward to check
the 9'th bar, then on to the 8'th bar, and so on, till it
finally checks the n=1 bar last.
<FONT face=Arial
size=2>====================================================================
I am willing to do write
more of these descriptions in order to help newby's and us non-techies
gain a better understanding of how Amibroker works.
I am not technically capable, nor do I have the time, to
contribute anything beyond the writing of a few of these
descriptions.
I will wait and see if Yuki, or anyone else is
interested in taking this further. Ron D
