[Web-erp-developers] Special Area

[Daintrees <p.d...@pa...>]

What format should such a special area take?

A web page with links to what could be done?

An ftp repositary with additional files in it. What files to include then?

The developer archives are good - but I notice that folks are not that
particular about the subject title given to the email - so the archives are
pretty labour intensive to find what you are after and the subjects are
often misleading.

If we have addons - we include them or perhaps we provide a link to what
someone else has done but has not been included. Normally we will include
them of course - so what purpose and what information will be available in
the special area.

Anything that serves the purposes that you see is a good thing - I just dont
see what the thing is! I know when you tell me it will be obvious to me but
I just dont get what information we would show.

The cool graph class is worthless unless one of us gets into some
development using it. Of course if there was any development using it I
would be very keen to include it -especially if we could print them.
