We have example/test/snippets too much sparse around: in sources, in the wiki, in examples, in tests... I think we need a sort of "contentrator" for all that info around. Maybe a well done wiki page can be enough, I'm thinking of a sort of "big index" of resources grouped by libs. > > -- > Leif > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel - in partnership with Geeknet, > is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly > thought > leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials, tech docs, > whitepapers, evaluation guides, and opinion stories.
