Thanks.  I'll look closer at this over the weekend. 

Personally, I do a lot thats _not_ CNC related.

1) People blogging about working ON the project.  Yours and a couple others 
are good examples of this for MK.
This sort of stuff is really useful (at least to me) and generally covers 
the kind of stuff you mentioned:  setup hal, how to use tools,  
experiments, snippets, etc.
I understand about 30% of it but I'm grateful and fascinated.

2) Users blogging about working WITH the project.  That is, using it to 
*achieve* something.
 When I got into CNC ten or fifteen years ago, there were lots of people 
blogging conversions,builds and other projects.  I could learn a lot by 
watching others.
Right now, I'm not aware of a single non-cnc machinekit project documented 
end-to-end.  Not one.  Maybe they're out there and my google-fu is weak.  I 
hope so.

Without success stories, users might wonder if this is just a science 
experiment or if it has real practical benefit.
