Just go to this page for all the help and examples you need.
 
A key is that contributors have to put in some TIME to write an "article" that is readable and explains or teaches.  It can include pasted code but pasting messages is lame unless there is some original addition made to the pasted item.  Others more knowledgeable can help out those less knowledgeable by EDITING someone else's contribution.  Probably, TJ will take on a task of correcting those "teachings" that are wrong or misleading....but there is obviously potential.

Before any of us give up and slink back into our holes - we need to think about organization.  If anyone has a link to a well organized wiki thingi then it would be great to see how its done.  Then we need to discuss how to organize it.   Once that's done then we can set up a "structure" and start filling it in.
 
TJ - if you're reading this - is it "public" or do you have to register to post?  I already registered but don't know if that was necessary.  Do you have any wiki sities  that you can point us to?

OK, OK - it didn't turn out quite the way it looks in my InfoSelect. It's much
easier to follow in IS. So I've deleted it from the Wiki page. But it was well-intentioned - it's a thread from this very forum on how to set up
databases for multiple markets in Ami, which is something that many find tricky
and confusing. Tomasz gave an excellent explanation in the last post of the
thread. The first couple of posts were for context, as Tomasz's post answers
points raised in the previous ones.

So if somebody can tell me and everyone else how to use the Wiki thingy so that
it looks like a polished page, and preferably indexed, then perhaps the thread
would be worth re-posting there. I tried to make sense of the Wiki Manual, but
a lot of it was gobbledegook to a non-programmer like me, and it would have to
be one of the most user-UNfriendly 'manuals' I have ever encountered. I could
not make sense out of it at all.

I have no idea about writing web pages or using HTML - I hope that's not required to use the Wiki thing - but I get the impression from the manual that it may be.  In which case, I suspect many of us in here would be left behind...  Ah well, I still have my InfoSelect database :)

But then there are those that are too lazy to read anything and therefore will just post a question anyway and someone far more patient than most of us (good old Graham for instance) will answer that question that's been asked and answered 100's of times.
