RE: [amibroker] Re: 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 This was done over a year ago and is thus somewhat out of
date.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.
