Be careful--please note that I didn't say "non-engineers", I said "[not] the lead engineers." There are certainly technical writers out there who are skilled in writing quality documentation who also have 15+ years of programming experience. I'm trying to reach out to one such "technical communications" communities to see if there's any interest in working on the AOLserver project. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
