Very true. What might be nice, and was rummaging around in my head, would be a z-series oriented community web site (supported by ????) which would have at least two things. The first would be a CMS (Content Management System, perhaps Drupal?) or Wiki (MediaWiki) so that people could contribute information (to which they have an appropriate copyright). But it would likely need to be managed with "approved contributors" and "peer reviewed".
The other would be a source code repository. Now, we already have this at http://cbttape.org . Perhaps Sam would not be adverse to adding a Wiki for easy access to information. It could be used by people who need information. The site might even be able to host an archive of this, and other z-oriented, email forum. Preferable with a Google-like search ability. But I'm now getting into things that take a fair amount of time and effort. And, of course, everybody would want it to be cost-free. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 • N.
