Kyle, That response was AWESOME! Though it did raise more questions that I'll ask in a later post after I've digested more and tried to play with some of the stuff you mentioned. (And you're right, suffering is no reason to be rude. Sorry.)
Georg, I liked the idea for an advanced beginners HOWTO a lot. I am willing to organize or help with this. Mark, I received your rtf document but have not had time to read it as my day today is packed with lectures starting soon that I haven't prepared for. But I think collaborating on such a [advanced beginners HOWTO] project is a fantastic idea. I have lots of topics and questions that I think would make for good additions to such a really fine document. I think Kyle's suggestion of a wiki is a really good way to collaborate on this because we can all make changes and add ideas to it. This way we can avoid any overall gaps even though each of us (mostly me) has some gaps in our knowledge. I would suggest a multipage-wiki that can be hyperlinked so that we can fork off pages for topics that are too detailed or cover obscure necessities without that information cluttering up the main/earlier pages geared towards the true newbs such as myself. I haven't set up a wiki before. I'll look into later today or tomorrow afternoon. If anybody has suggestions for what wiki software to use I'd like to hear them. (My publication expertise is in the TeX/LaTeX arena, not so much wiki/HTML.) - Jeff ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
