Hey,
In my short time here i've found there is alot of information on the boards, but it can be difficult to track down. I think a good solution would be a Wiki.
I think it would be a more effective medium for holding advanced information on things such as UDF's and Builtin commands. It would have the advantage of allowing more people to contribute examples for said commands, which are a bit lacking as is for us beginners!
For example, a page could be called 'Arrays'. It would contain basic information on what arrays are and what their purpose is. It would contain the builtin commands with extensive examples on how to create an array, read and write data to an array, and how to modify it in more advanced ways with other commands and extra functionality given via UDF's. If a user was interested in the commnand 'FOR EACH ', they could click the link and find themself at a page with even more examples and specifics on the command.
Or, an article on 'Error Handling', which explains the error handling capibilities of Kix, and best practices of doing so, with plenty of examples.
Hope you get the idea!
Don't get me wrong, i think the forums and community are great, but i dont think it's a great medium to hold more 'static' information on Kix usage. Sure there is a Manual with quite alot of info in it, it isn't exceedingly indepth. Have a look at the 'Arrays' section, for a System administrator with not much programming experience it brushes over the topic without much explination of how you can go about modifying the data in an array using other commands, and does not provide many examples.
What do you guys think?
Luke
