If the goal is to "make our development tasks more efficient" it is making sure he labor that one of us puts in is not reproduced by another, i.e. Pick syntax iles for various tools. The "collaboration point" whether it is pickwiki or another, does not have to ost the code, but pointers to the places where the resource can be maintained roperly. An example is the MAKEXML program on the wiki. I have used that many times and seriously appreciate ECL and KRJ for making it available. s it perfect, not really, every time I use it, I get the docstring twice. The iki is not the way to communicate that it needs a patch. f I did (which I should) fix my copy, who do I communicate it to? We also need o let people know under what license we post the code under. Can I put MAKEXML p on my github and patch it, giving attribution to ECL and KRJ?

I assume that any web pages are searchable. You ave to actively make something not searchable AFAIK. Useful examples - hopefully. Make sense to everyone - probably not as possible. But anything that doesn't make sense, you'd be able to markup I didn't address docs, but sure why not. Collaborate - that's the main point of my message really. To find a way to ollaborate that is more immediate, and more used that PickWiki which seems very ob-webby to me. -----Original Message----- From: John Thompson <jthompson...@gmail.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Fri, Nov 18, 2011 8:46 am Subject: Re: [U2] Code Collaboration So, I thought what the original poster was getting at was: 1) Create a documentation/wiki/example site ) Make it searchable ) Have useful examples that make sense to everyone ) Also post the vendor/var docs ) Collaborate on ideas (like we do here) Maybe you guys are talking about something else... Github, svn, cvs, PRC and all those are great tools, but, they probably ren't going to create the "Wikipedia" of the MV world. The above can be done, but, it needs to become a living/breathing thing hat gets updated a lot, otherwise, folks won't use it. Hence the hallenge- making it a living/breathing thing. I know this kind of thing has been tried, and is being tried... but there robably isn't enough flag waving and marketing to keep it going. Or people create something, and try to make it subscription based, which in his day and time is never going to work with something like the bove. Some of the things I know about are: http://www.nuwiki.com/cgi-bin/nuwiki.cgi?home&project=nuwiki ttp://www.keyally.com/prdb/universe/basic_tree_all.html ttp://www.pickwiki.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl Anyway, I'd like to help with something like that. I'm just not sure at my tage in life, that I have the time to spearhead it and become the chief Architect" of something like that.

Great that there are all these new possibilities, but if you have to figure everything out yourself it becomes very difficult to keep up with the technology. A lot of VARs (especially ours) are no help if you get the feeling they know even less then you do. It is very frustrating if the business asks, 'can we do that?' and you can only answer, 'yes, I know it's possible but I don't know how to make it work.' And how am I to show the young guys all the flash things I have seen in demos or heard about here if I can't get them to work myself?

If we can reignite excitement in he product and create a place for collaboration where that excitement can be ut to good use then I believe we can achieve success.
