Does anyone think that a kind of "monthly summary" of posts to the turbine-user list would be useful? I really like the idea of receiving a monthly mail shot with all the good stuff in it...like nifty solutions, work-arounds, bugs and gotcha's, etc...
Of course some poor fool would actually have to take the time wade through the list a pull all this good stuff together...but I for one would certainly find it useful.
And before you ask I would actually consider taking this monster task on myself but...I'm leaving my current job soon and spending 9 months travelling around Australia... <evil-laugh>... so I won't be able to!
Anyways, I thought while we're all chucking ideas around I'd chuck that one in the pot as well.
ttfn,
Matt
