no, I totaly get Eli's point. calling it "religious wars" was tounge-in-cheek (never understood that one, biting your tounge is not funny). point is that there is TOO MUCH information. not one site that gives a proper balance of pros and cons of competing products. should I go with PostgreSQL or MySQL? which are the strong points of each products? every user has his own needs and parameters, so he wants to know about the experiances of others, and how they rated it. I am thinking about a site that will concentrate all those good reviewes you might find only after googling for hours. then add rants and praises, then some rating scale for the parameters right for each category. also, how about adding all the "latest rumors"? a friend of mine is writing a cross-platform C++ library and asked me about the docs. He wrote them all in HTML but wanted to translate them to "info". I told him that as far as I knew, SGML and LinuxDoc or the improved DebianDoc were the way to go, because that was what I found from the net. apperently most of those pages are terribly out of date and DocBook is the way to go. if I had a site that compared doc-creation packages and told me what were the trends and the "right way" to do things this week, it would also be a lot of help. -- The place to be Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ This post is encrypted twice with ROT-13.
