Thanks, Joe/Dale...
I just spent 15 minutes looking at some of the main and
preliminary editing/organizing tools and syntax for wike. I had never
before attempted an entry although I have used wikipedia numerous times.
As someone said, it is not so simple. I will attempt a start, not on the
outline I have but on some simple headlines as a beginning of an
organization. I also was thinking that a thorough FAQ might be a good way
to start and more simple from a beginning standpoint. It does not look as
easy as I thought it would be.
Hmmmm......
Hi Ken - I agree with you and I'd like to see
your outline. I'd contribute topics where I can and
would start organizing the material on my
part.
Best regards
JOE

FAQ / SNIPPETS idea
A key thing is that no ONE person makes
contributions. Lots of folks write or edit material or both. The
more people who contribute even a small amount of learning or teaching about
something they have done, the more the reference work will grow.
Further, people will only write about the things that interest them, so the
content grows accordingly...initially with big gaps and perhaps not a lot of
organization, but eventually growing into a valuable work.
A couple of us had compiled some outlines of things
needed to learn about AB. This was done over a year ago and is thus
somewhat out of date. Nonetheless, this could be an organizational
starting point and I could dust off these old outlines and see what it would
take to turn some of them into Wiki pages---but it would be nice to see some
positive suction, hopeful comments, and an indication that some folks would
contribute some original content. Think about Herman's tutorial from way
back, on AddtoComposites. Effort like that is the kind of contribution
that would make a wonderful, information-rich AB Wiki.
Ken
I guess the big question, Who is going to volunteer to do all
this
work on the wiki site???
There is already facility to add comments
to the online AFL functions
that is clearly not fully utilised as it takes
someone actually
writing something to add. We cannot expect TJ to do all
this work and
keep AB moving forward.
No point running around getting
things planned if nobody plans to do
the effort of entering to the
site.
If you plan to have everyone write and add their own thing,
then
forget organising unless someone is prepared to do the
organising.
It all sounds good, but so far very few people have ever
come forward
to do the work, and then continue to do so for long time to
come.
Yes I am negative about it, It is good idea.............
but.
