I think the two projects can and should be complementary. The FAQ should focus more on "why" questions and the cookbook on "how" and can refer to each other as necessary. I think it would be excellent if someone, even a "rank newbie" were to do something to make the mechanics of contributing entries to the cookbook easier. If fixing that causes contributions to start flowing, then we can worry about finding some non-newbies to help vet and clean up the contributions before they go in the cookbook. -Peter -- Peter Seibel * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gigamonkeys Consulting * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/ Practical Common Lisp * http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ _______________________________________________ Gardeners mailing list [email protected] http://www.lispniks.com/mailman/listinfo/gardeners
