I agree. I stopped contributing to libraries and to this list on this google group as both just too awkward. The justanontherlanguage site is pretty and a good idea. I think I made a contribtion there once or twice, but needs organised differently.
Also Google Groups /Blogger (Google's Blogging site) / Google code are all the pits and google could shutter any of them tomorrow. I find logging into google obnoxious because it's one log in for everything and they track everything. The justanontherlanguage site should have everything (backed up) and also any Yahoo JAL, as Yahoo groups is brain dead hosting for anything. Maybe it was a good idea when Hosting was expensive and decent CMS / Blogging SW didn't exist. I run 15 web sites. I've offered to help before. I did maths, Graphics, formmating, devices and "Multitasking" stuff and will do more (have done more but I stopped contributing). It's not just a hobby I picked up. I've been doing embedded programming as the "day job" on and off 1979 to 2009 (when R&D closed and I was made redundant). Engineers I know at Analog Devices agree JAL is best solution for PIC 16/18 family by miles. But it's almost inaccessible, awkward to discuss or contribute. Now I log out of pesky Google I do get all the emails of this list and read all. But such a pain to contribute to disscussion and access compared to free Forum software such as PHPBB (Drupal is fine CMS and the blogging, Books, Galleries, etc are great but better to use separate forum on same domain) On Wednesday, August 6, 2014 4:21:58 PM UTC+1, Sunish Issac wrote: > > I fully agree with Vasi regarding the library and example contributions.
