Any volunteers? I'm thinking it would be kinda nice if the meeting were broken up so that it's not _all_ tutorial in nature. Even a short break for some gee-whiz or didknowaboutthis application would reduce the squirm factor. ==> This would be a good way for people to contribute back without feeling he has to be a universal-wizard. ==> Maybe *someone* with people and organizational skills could take on an ongoing role as coordinator of short presentations of this type. Maybe it could be rotating short-term job. ...???... .. But returning to your immediate question/proposal.. You have an ok from me. I've been giving a bit of odd-moments thought about node5/6 anyway. In fact I might like to write something along the lines of background information that (maybe) could be linked to from (but not be in) the main text. I was thinking of things like what is a shell, what is it's purpose what exactly happens when I run a command how is that different from clicking on XYZ I also think I might like to contribute some new mainline text under node34 (shortcuts). Maybe even split that node or insert another one including things along the lines of you don't really expect me to remember all that, do you? how to learn a little, find a little tricks to achieve "forgotten but not lost" how to customize your own command line usage (eg aliases, etc) Do you like these ideas? Anyone else want a bite of either of these? >.. Regards, ..jim -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-steer
