- [JP]>Some ideas for articles to start things off I had are stuff like:
- [JP]>-a simple skeleton PM application to get people started
- [JP]>-how to install and set up gcc, emx/gcc, gnu make, etc.
- [JP]>-reviews of any commercial development stuff that gets released
- [JP]>-good books to buy, etc.
- [JP]>-considerations for programming dos under os/2, releasing
- [JP]>timeslices, etc.
- [JP]>-etc.
- [JP]>
- [JP]>So? What do you think? Anyone willing to contribute? I would be willing to
- [JP]>collect articles, edit into a fairly coherent thing, and distribute - _if_ I
- [JP]>can get articles. :)

- That's a great idea Steve!
-
- Here are some suggestions:
- . Even though some of the threads of comp.os.os2.{programmer,misc} carry
- a lot of "noise", they are a extremely valuable source of information.
- Gathering pieces, doing some smart cut-and-paste, adding some sentences
- to cement the pieces and you got your article! Talk about a collective
- work!
- . A column about "classified tips" will be welcome (customize WPS, increase
- performance, install drivers, ...)
- . a list of supported hardware and associated drivers would be great.
- . Thumbs UP and DOWN for new products (hardware, software, companies) based on
- polls and reactions from the news readers.
- Recommended shareware and freeware.
- Reaction on what/why they bought.
- . List of known bugs and fixes
- . List of suggestions on how to make OS/2 (and any OS/2 app.) a better product
- . statistics on who's out there? Profile of the OS/2 user? What hardware and
- software do they use? How much do they spend on computer stuff? etc...
-
- . And my personal favorite for today "what is the cheapest, OS/2 supported
- CD-ROM available?"
-
- I will be happy to contribute as writter if the readers don't mind my awkward way of
- using english as a second language (my first language being Frrrrench).
-
- In any case I will be a fervent reader.
-
- Again, it's a wonderful idea!
