Well, there are kind of 2 ways of posting, with many people in between: * people who are solid enough that they just post to let interested parties follow along the progress, and maybe generate buzz * people who are a little more unsteady, and need to ask either simple seeming questions and "hey could someone take a look at this code, I'm stumped" For the former, a web diary can be an interesting supplemant tho that, though you'd probably want to post on something like AA to remind people of the journal...in general I think AA is better for minor updates, [stella] for the more major ones. I personally have big doubts about archive diving for learning things...at least the basics...I think both my 2600 101 and Andrew Davies' work is a much better bet. And for advanced questions it might be hard to get a search query just right to get you to the relevant info. (I value [stella] archives much more for the milestone alphas and betas posted, and all those little demos...) --Kirk Archives (includes files) at http://www.biglist.com/lists/stella/archives/ Unsub & more at http://stella.biglist.com
