Hey Jim, The techie part for me is non-challenging, just some more hardware. The parts I see as useful are all points 1-4 you have listed. I would suggest that there would be no benefit to having this discussion forum, fixwiki, fiximate, stackoverflowforfix.com and so on. Centralise in one place - remove duplication and proliferation. Lots of FIX vendors provide web based tools to show FIX specifications - Transacttools used to have a nice one, I am pretty sure b2bits have one and so on. Maybe one of the commercial vendors that has a microsoft stack would be willing to host for FPL as a goodwill/community gesture? > John G > > Integrating the stackoverflow.com "stack" would be a bit challenging as > the FIX website is on the MSFT platform. > > I agree that we have found the current discussion forum somewhat lacking > but it does have an excellent search mechanism.
