Firstly - wasn't there a wiki going somewhere for this sort of thing?
Secondly - Wouldn't it be great if we had an internet 'forum' for
Austechwriter?
Cons - Granted that there would be financial implications for server =
costs
etc. and it would create a lot of work administration wise.
Pros - a one stop shop for Austechwriter....
No more individual emails or digests - simply connect to the forum =
whenever
time suits, read whichever threads / posts you are interested in and =
nothing
else.
I belong to several forums and find them extremely interesting and easy =
to
use.=20

Subject: atw: Tips exchange
Don't you think it would be great if many people on the list posted =
=3D
tips
about a variety of subjects? What a fantastic resource and knowledge
exchange that could be. (Not necessarily just about software, =
although =3D
it
has the advantage of being clear-cut compared to some other =
knowledge
domains.)=3D20
To me, the key is to keep tips short and to the point. Then it =3D
wouldn't
matter if you read several tips that you knew already, because you =
=3D
wouldn't
have spent much time reading them! And people who didn't already =
know =3D
them
would quickly learn something useful.
Evidently many users don't like "Tips of the Day" in software =
because =3D
such
tips provide information which, *at the time*, is not relevant to =
=3D
their
work, and is often hard to find again when it *is* needed. (A recipe =
=3D
for
frustration!)=3D20
But I *like* tips. And if I think a particular tip will be useful, I =
=3D
write
it down.
Which brings me to another tip that isn't solely about software:
* Keep a written record of tips, which you can take with you on your =
=3D
laptop
or when you change jobs or contracts. You can use the same document =
to
record anything that might be useful to remember months later, such =
as
Internet addresses, and code examples such as JavaScript or Visual =
=3D
Basic. By
using a single document, you can easily keep track of, back up and =
=3D
transport
all the of URLs and other stuff that you find useful.=3D20

Thank you for the feedback, Tracy. I'm glad you found the tips =
useful.
So come on, everybody -- each of us has at least one tip that we =
could =3D
share
whenever the list is quiet.
Cheers,
Craig=3D20
