Greg,

What we have here is a failure to communicate. My reference
to several was not to denigrate other instructional material,
only a preference for a single site to reference them all. I
hope this clears up that miscommunication.

For those who like to surf the internet in pursuit of their
interests or who wallow in editors, compilers, languages, etc.,
I say full speed ahead. You have already crossed the
meridian. For those more timid and less given to explore the
great unknown, I would like a means of growing their comfort
zone until they too have the same feeling of adventure.

We began this project in part to see ways to increase the
number of OS/2 users into open source contributors. While I
realise that anyone with any "real" interest can follow in the
footsteps of others so inclined, I suspect a large number really
don't care about going all over the place on a by guess or by
golly, expending an unnecessary amount of finite available
time, particularly when others of us have the information and
means to ease their journey.

Thus my emphasis does not lie in insuring the meeting of my
needs, but in doing what I can to aid others in meeting theirs,
particularly when it comes to encouraging them to join in this
venture. I find, for example, that the "download" pieces
offered on the SCOUG website to have an interest in support
similar to my own.
