I've been through the existing Cygwin docs. I don't see anything specifically answering this need. The page isn't a personal web page. IWeThey is a group of tech professionals who've been loosely associated for over five years, and have run a number of web and other Internet-based services for much of this time. I've got a big hand in the TWiki. It's not by any means limited to me alone, only my product. I'm developing this documentation as much for my own use as for the community's. Which is to say, I'll want to be able to update and modify the docs as time goes by. Consider the interim docs a work in progress. I've found the Wiki model to be useful and valuable for developing online resources. An example of this is http://sco.iwethey.org/, a compendium on information regarding the Caldera/SCO vs. IBM Linux lawsuit. This started just a month ago as three Google search links. It's now well over 60 pages of printed material (probably closer to 100), most of it not written by me. It's a powerful mechanism for collaborative documentation development. The document I'm developing presently is just that -- a document in development. When it's at a stage I feel it's suitable for inclusion in the core Cygwin docs, I'll contact whomever is appropriate and y'all can cleave off a snapshot. I'll likely continue to use the TWiki as a development tool however, for extending this and related docs. Peace. -- Karsten M.
