Back during that last active phase or shortly thereafter, IIRC, someone was actually doing pretty much just that. He was creating a "manual", complete with liberal quotes from this list. Of course I wasn't the only one quoted, but given my activity here (both frequency/quantity and verbosity), I'd guess it was likely 50-75% my posts, even if I do say so myself. I still have a link to what I believe is that project, it's pan docs of some sort at least, somewhere. I should look into it to see if it's still available (not a stale link) and how useful the content might still be. But then, if I was much good at doing anything besides posting here, I might have put together something myself, so I don't know if I'll actually get to it unless someone else takes an interest and asks me to. Scratch the last bit. I just checked and the bookmark's still valid. It's a tarball. Dates on the included files appear to be Dec 2006 and Jan 2007. I've not actually looked at the content itself (it appears to be HTML based files and images), but if anyone's interested in running with it, here's the link to the tarball: http://doug.freeshell.org/files/pan_docs070107.tar.gz Thanks, Doug (B?). I think Darren A was involved, too. As I said I haven't actually looked at it. -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
