A lot of people have contributed informally over the years, by posting, and people still reference the archives to access that material. Even the small contributions add up. Forums seem to be reactive by nature. Perhaps that is user preference. My efforts won't go anywhere near the advanced and professional presentations of the above group. Recently I found that I was losing my own Ami research. At the end of my *projects* I started summarising the outcomes by putting screenshots, code and notes into PDF's so I could manage it better. >From there I decided,*Why not put some of the general interest stuff up for use by others?* I am just going to put a few generic folders up at the third party site and upload some basic training type material from time to time. If others join in it might have a life. If not I will let it die a natural death. My idea is to take some of the training burden off Tomasz and to have some template-like answers that we can refer users to instead of answering the same old questions over and over. The negative is that home made training material is bound to contain mistakes, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives. I have to discuss it with Tomasz first though because PDF's are resource hungry and he might not want GB's of stuff on the servers. > If you are going to put it into the 3rd party section, May I suggest you > do it in HTML. I doubt if I would do that as I don't have the skills base for it without gong to the text books. People like and understand PDF's and they are so portable. If anyone wants to jump on the bandwagon PDF's can easily be made to a reasonable level without any special skills or costs e.g. I made some using a free PDF creator and with a few arrows and circles marked on some screenshots captured in MS's paint. Why do you recommend HTML? Brian_z
