I agree.
Just wait until I get this first phase of functionality done :-)
Many Rev users learn from taking apart the wonderful example stacks
posted by so many of the generous and brilliant developers have
posted. So, many pages will have links to relevant stacks that
illustrate that term in particular. But beyond that, I think people
will be inspired to write little tutorials on certain common
processes that again, will be linked to from the functions most used.
Writing a tutorial on revcoders.org is as easy as posting an email to
this list:
1. http://revcoders.org/wp-admin/post-new.php
2. type
3. choose category and tags
4. click "Publish"
If you want to try a quick test, for now, you can log in with:
username = revcoder
password = revcoder
(of course you can set up your own log in)
The tag system is particularly wonderful, you can tag dictionary
terms featured in your tutorial, and those terms will automatically
link back to your article!

But it is still a dictionary. For newer users trying to get
proficient, its
still going to be like trying to improve your Bulgarian from a
Bulgarian-English dictionary. You can do it to a limited extent,
but its
going about it the hard way. And as one poster said earlier, you
have to
know Bulgarian well enough to know what you are looking for before
you can
find it!
What one part of the target market needs is something quite
different. They
need a dictionary of meanings, of tasks. Then they need an entry
which shows
how to combine various language elements to get the task done.
Without this,
they'll have a really hard time moving from novice to proficient,
and will
probably give up and go elsewhere.
It is probably not a need which most contributors to this list
have, and it
may be a target market not worth going after. But Rev does seem to be
targetting such users, and this is what it will take to get and
keep them.
