OK, well I agree more with Adam Shimali's longer recent post, in that it is a quality collection of software and should aim higher than a small group that wanders by, but that's actually secondary for now. *** I think everyone agrees the #1 need is an updated site - that line at the top: "Last updated August 1, 2003" kind of makes all this discussion near-irrelevant. *** I know everyone's super-busy, but maybe some of the more seasoned Webware users could prune some of the Wiki, or make a new page on there pointing out what docs are still valid/applicable, or close to it with some modifications? Like: url1: this tutorial is accurate but the session info is old url2: this transaction desc needs updating from .6 to .8 etc... I've found many are frozen in different points in time and it's often hard as a newcomer to figure out which docs are currently applicable. This would hopefully enable others to help organize content for an updated site(?) Or if someone already has an attack plan for updating content, seems like a good time to announce it! -- ___________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
