Re: WebDNA for Dummies

interpreted = N
texte = I understand why people would like this to happen, but I'd rather see something else. I think it would be far more helpful if people contributed more snippets to the online docs at SM. This type of effort should be minimal, presumably because the code has been drafted by contributor. This effort will also be useful when the next step occurs about writing a book. Frankly, I'd love to see someone mine the archives, and summarize to the online docs with contributed examples. For example, the tip yesterday about the rewrite rule in apache is not purely a WebDNA tip, but it needs to be organized into a tips file for others to easily find. It shows how flexible this language can be.I also know that I've only made minimal contributions so far to those online docs because I've not found that they're easy to navigate being frame based. If properly rewritten using a helpful format that is searchable (providing results alongside talklist results) would be a valuable tool.After this has been set up and used for a while, I'd imagine there'd be plenty to cull from to write a book or even render a book unnecessary.Bill-----Original Message-----From: Pat Holliday
