AmiBroker 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thus somewhat out of date.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.

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.
