aloha- this being my first post, as as a totally green linux user (the amount of experience on this list is really, really impresive btw, i read some bios :) i'm drooling over the proposition of getting my paws on as much lit/code as possible. part of the reason i'm getting into open source is that the community surrounding it seems genuinely receptive, friendly, and helpful. so, andy, i'd be more than happy to help out in any way i can with the organization of a resource repository. we could keep in in my (or someone's basement), publish the list on the website, and check in/out at tclug meetings. like i said, as a greehorn, i'd be really excited to get my hands on the lit that some of the gurus on this list started paging thru many years, months, whatever, ago. cheers. -jonDavid On Wednesday 21 November 2001 08:29, BT wrote: > Well Andy if nobody else wants any I can probably take some of those books > off your hands, heck I'll even drive down there and get them. > > andy at theasis.com wrote: > > On Tue, 20 Nov 2001, Chad C.
