Thanks Mauricio That's a very good suggestion. Unfortunately I've spent many years in Communities where sharing is valued non-commercially. Smalltalk and Java communities collaborated effectively to share knowledge in the early days of the Internet, and despite the small bandwidths and small subscriptions it was very effective. I'm saddened to see so many books and so few Internet Helpfuls on this very exciting piece of technology.
If anyone can point me at Internet Helpfuls, I will be truly appreciative. If anyone can point me at a valid appraisal of the relevant current texts (October 2008 or nearby), I will be truly appreciative.
