Hello Rob,
Thanks for your compliments re the UKB.
I would also like to mention Al, who is Hermans silent partner, and
Fred, who posted his work (IMO in it's rightful place) with a minimum
of fuss. Also we shouldn't forget that it is Tomasz who sponsors us
and also had the foresight to support Herman and I when we suggested
the UKB to him.
Anyway - mainly I wanted to let you know that the DevLog, the two
KB's (including comments) and this site can be received as RSS feeds
(there's a post at the UKB about how to setup for it or to receive
RSS to your email). So the Devlog and the KB's are actually
consolidated and delivered to your door. The private Yahoo sites
aren't RSS enabled. So actually it is the bits and pieces pre RSS
that are out of alignment.
Also Tomasz was talking about a better (internal) AB search system?
I might be wrong but I think the UKB also doesn't figure in Google
searches etc which seems a pity.
I agree with your comments that consolidation of the legacy articles
etc would be good.
