I'm going over the list archives at lists.io.com and I realized that
there's a lot of great stuff there but it's all burried. I think it

be a bennefit to us still using SC2 for performance (unless I'm the only
one) to have a web-accessable archive. This would make google searches
for
the word supercollider yield better results than a couple of academic
sites and audiosynth.com
and a lot of physicists.
Since the list seems to have moved to CREATE, which is using Mailman,
the
io.com archives would not have to be maintained, just processed and
HTML-ized once, which would be pretty simple.
Of course I plan on converting all email addresses to the safer
(read: less spam harvester friendly)
name (at) host.com
Would anyone object?
ideally i would like to see a wiki with the documentation on it.
user commentary (like php.net). the problem with php.net is the
commentary gets too long
and isn't sorted by importance. a wiki can be set up to add commentary
in a threaded fashion,
and then editor people can link those together to clarify stuff later.
on each of those pages a link that would search the archives of all sc
mailing lists.
links to further explorations of specific concepts or classes.
a daily or weekly automatic copy of that wiki documentation to an
offline downloadable format.
(html or better: sc files)
someone mentioned exporting html for the apple help. i assume one can
pass a query to apple help
from inside the application. but its also nice in sc2 to have
integrated examples that you can play.
command-?
david cottle, have you accepted the nomination of Overseer of
Documentation ?
what are your feelings ? do ya dig wikis ?
i have a php wiki that works okay.
