Ps - If you enjoy writing and don't mind a little volunteer work. Aros has the perfect job for you. Take a look at the Aros homepage [url]http://aros.sourceforge.net/[/url] There are so few updates, people who go there sometimes get the impression that Aros is no longer active. A short news article every couple of months would make a big difference. If interested, Saimon69 can answer questions, or 4play at Aros-Exec.

The best person to answer your technical questions would be Amigamia. I'm surprised he hasn't responded yet. Also Saimon69, could give you good information too. Saimon69 wrote many of the articles that used to be here. But mostly they were reprinted from his blog binarydoodles. If you want to check them out. [url]http://binarydoodles.ilcannocchiale.it/[/url] If you are going to have snippets of code in your articles, Imo, it would be better for the reader to be able to cut and paste it, than to deal with tags for color highlighting. As a reader, html is great for something I will skim through once, especially if there are be many links or ads. But if an article is something I might want to review for future reference, then I would also have a pdf file to download. That way I won't forget where I found the article, or add yet another bookmark, or wonder about a dead link. Just my 2 cents. From your posts, it seems that you have a wide range of interests. I'm curious about the subject matter of these articles. I look forward to seeing them.

Articles HowTo ? Hi, I perhaps might be interrested (in the future) to spend some time on an article (or series of articles) for aros. In (very early) preperation of that, i'm in the process of deciding to start a blog (or something similar), doing it in a offline form (like pdf/html or something similar) uploading it for others to download or using an excisting infrastructure (like aw.org). In that regard, feel free to make any suggestion at all :) I seem to remember, before this board went up again, that there were some articles available, but for the life of me i cannot remember how they looked like. Also i could not find anything related on this site like a HowTo or a FAQ concerning articles. So, i have a few questions concerning making articles on aw.org: [b]-[/b] is any registered user of aw.org allowed to make/start an article or does one have to apply/get clearance for it somewhere first ? [b]-[/b] I noticed the board is using php-fusion. I looked overthere already but could not find anything similar like this board. I would like to have a (renewed) impression on how an article would look like in practise. Any available sites that somebody know of that could give me an fairly good impression (in relation to aw.org) ? Also, i got a bit lost at the fusion site as the documents i looked at/found seems to be more orientated towards setting up a site (which i do not care of). [b]-[/b] What would be the format in which an article need to be written ? I have not a clue as of what is possible/allowed or not. Think along the way of (embedded) pictures, tables, paragraphs, lists etc. Is there perhaps a manual somewhere or does it simply requires just plain html ? [b]-[/b] In relation to the above question, could i write an article offline and post/upload it as an article online so it could be avoided to do a manual conversion ? [b]-[/b] Does the article(engine) supports automatic highlighting of source-code like c, pascal, amiga E, arexx, etc. ? [b]-[/b] Are there any restrictions on an article. Like length/size ? Is it possible to do a series of articles (linked toghether) ? Is an article more along the way like a chapter ? [b]-[/b] Is it possible for (other) users to respond to an article. Could the article be re-edited to reflect f.e. user comments -> think along he way of a FAQ that needs to be updated often. [b]-[/b] Is it possible to attach e.g. example files to an article or does that requires external storage space ? My preference would be that i could edit offline (leaving more choices for me available as where and how to publish), somehow get it to be uploaded without requiring manual conversion and ofcourse support for (automatic) source-code highlighting. It would be nice if this could be managed using aros, but i settle for tools i have experience with under windblows. In short, too many questions (and i probably forgot to write down most of them ) :) Thanks in advance for any replies. regards,
