Hmmm... I was thinking the same thing. An 'official' Win32Lib FAQ site.  I
think you'd find that I've answered a good share myself (and I asked quite
a few when I started).  I would be willing to help out in this area if
you'd be willing to work with me. Just email me personally if you'd like to
start cooking this project up.  I've already started a website that's just
itching for this type of info but I just wasn't sure where to start.  With
a partnership, I am much more likely to complete and maintain the FAQ.

Also, I know there are others working on other 'Win32Lib help/Windows
programming help' type projects and I'd like to build a site where
everybody's Euphoria Win32Lib knowledge and Windows API tricks come into
play.  We've got a team working on the Win32Lib code, why not a team for
docs/tips/tricks/FAQs/etc.  And, of course, I'd expect to see some members
on both teams.

Let me know if you are interested.  I don't like to make offers like this
because I'm afraid 'real life' will intervene but I feel that, once
established, this shouldn't be too difficult to maintained by a few
interested parties.

BTW, David Cuny made the comment: "But since I'm no longer the primary
coder, you might talk Matt into adding that feature. "

Personally, I'm not sure I like this line of thinking.  Do you really want
to just hand over the project to Matt?  (And Matt, I'm not saying this is a
bad thing...)  I'd just like to hear your thoughts on what you consider to
be 'your role' in the new Win32LibEx realm.  I've seen you 'state the
facts' about what's going on but how do you really feel about it?  I know
you are focusing on a cross platform windows environment project right now
so maybe you *want* to pass the torch so you've got more time to focus on
that instead of answering questions and fixing bugs in Win32Lib?
