Everyone:

I tend to agree with everything Bob Conley (conley AT plk DOT af DOT mil) has said,
but my reasoning is much more primal.

I read each post thoroughly, and many of them save me from posting the same
question. I know the serious software professionals are attempting to carry
the load of this (admittedly sterling) group, along with their daily coding
duties.

Don't all these queries about "where's what" and "how come this is missing?"
drain your energy? I know I'm tired of reading them, and I'm sure that if
I were _writing_ them, I'd be even more frustrated. My sympathies to those
of you struggling to find all the right stuff. (My thanks to everyone who
helped me find all the pieces to 1.09, right under my nose!)    :-)

Let's put all of each version in one place.

The collaborative nature of your work (Charles, Jih-Shin, Wonkoo, Hartmut)
probably would lead to a rev control nightmare. Could this be solved with
an /uploads dir?

I would like to see a new faq with a newbie chapter. I will cheerfully
volunteer to write it, since I still don't know what the hell I'm doing!  :-)
(Naturally, someone with technical experience in the s/w would have to
 proofread it).

Opinions?
