people do

I would much prefer reading an article explaining the method than read through
the code. I've learned quite a bit reading code, but it's a bit slower and more
difficult than an article. What if we just encouraged prople who do something
really cool code-wise to write an article about it, or work with a writer to
draft an article? If it's not cool enough or important enough to become an
article, it could go into the tips&tricks section?

Since this convo is about the website, should it be moved to
lgdc-web@sunsite.auc.dk? (I personally think almost everyone on this list
should be on the web list, since we all have an interest in the website...).

The opinions expressed by me are not necessarily opinions. In all
probability, they are random rambling, and to be ignored. Failure to ignore
may result in severe boredom or confusion. Shake well before opening. Keep
Refrigerated.
