Okay, I didn't understand "compile." You mean "compilation," as in aggregation, or collecting the answers to a question like a thread in a newsgroup? That would take an agreed upon tag library somewhat like a DTD and everyone would have to abide by its definitions. Not a bad idea at all, but I think with the trouble we had just agreeing on [OT], [FRIDAY], [BEER], [42], etc., that it would be more effort than it's worth. And I say that only because discussion threads for an emerging technology outlive their usefulness in a very short time.

There is a LOT of interesting reading, and I also press delete at times. The project has a lot of documentation and tutorials given that it is a beta. As we can all see, there are a lot of questions being posed. What I wanted to suggest was a cheap way to sift out/compile the answers. It would be nice to have better searching etc, but this takes some effort. In some sense I think the person who asked the question is the one who can best summarize the answers obtained, simply by the fact that he posed the question. I did not mean to start a long thread on this, it was simply a suggestion.
