Tim, Judy,
To be fair I didn't respond to this part of Tim's request/rant because
I thought it would be too daunting. It would be nice to have though. I
always learn best by example. Sarah's stack on serial commands was very
helpful, also some of the stacks/ideas that I found most helpful were:
window shapes
serial commands
drawer examples
password/encryption
picture sliders/progress bars
gif buttons/animated
geometry hints and help
player and quicktime and video grabber
rotate images
speech recognition and text speaking
application icons
screen saver/backdropper
file path and preferences
tabs and how they work
text manipulation/hypertext
printing/pdfs/export to file
XML/tree view
menus/ pop ups
Unicode (the one thing I have yet to get to work right)
Games/Colliding objects/moving balls
drag and drop- internal and external
Audio/wav/mp3 - recording and playback
Midi
Chat/Email
and Nine Ball has been a great group learning experience.
Maybe if we had a stack format like the ones used in the online
conference stacks then these could be cleaned up and included???
I started a Speak and Listen stack and would be interested in helping
where I can.

Maybe someday, many dictionary terms could be linked with mini-stacks
that actually demonstrate the use of the command, property, function,
object or whatever described in the documentation. These could be
downloaded by the user at need, or downloaded all in an archive, for
local retrieval by the documentation stack, as needed. (I assume the
onboard documentation is a stack.) The mini-stacks could be donated
by Rev-loyal users.

I just can't understand why Rev hasn't done all of these things
already. It might be a somewhat daunting task, but it's minuscule
compared to the trouble it took to build Rev in the first place. If
it's too much for Rev's overworked staff, they could get 95% of the
work done for free. All of the items I've mentioned could be
submitted by users to a wiki. Of course, Rev would need editorial
control of the wiki to keep out errors and vandalism. Even the
editorial control of the wiki could be delegated to experienced and
responsible volunteer users, who could check each other's work, and
so on. Professional developers could be allowed to place
self-promotional links in their wiki contributions.
