[gameprogrammer] Re: Wiki?

yeah, what i was thinking is this really would be something very
revolutionary and new (surprisingly!).

lots of people have put out tutorials on everything undert the sun.

lots of people have done that and also made message boards for tutorials.

these things are pretty good but not nearly as cool as a flexible, living,
wiki document w/ all that knowledge there, with input from different people
on different techniques etc.

i think that would really be something neat no one else has ever done
before.
