[AccessD] RE: FAQ-BestPractices?

I can shed some light on this. A team, and indeed a list as you see, was
created way back when. Our team leader, however, went awol. Nothing happened
other than some basic ideas being thrown around, so it never erached first
base. What did emerge, however, was just how much would need to go into it,
which is perhaps why it foundered. If someone does want to have a crack at
it they need to think about who looks after the kb, who submits KB articles,
who vets them, who edits them, who tests any code examples, how the
searching works (full text? Keywords?), etc. I'm not trying to dampen
anyone's enthusiasm, just don't want anyone to imagine this'd be a walk in
the park.
