[net.cooks] Net Cookbook

barb@pyuxa.UUCP (B E Nemeth) (10/01/85)

Whatever happened to the great idea of the
Net Cookbook.  
I thought the proposal met with great
enthusiasm.  Evidently, it died out.
What needs to be done to restart it?

I agree, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have saved
alot, though not all, of the recipes I see here. I'll be happy
to repost them, though they have been somewhat edited
(complete headers are now only a couple of lines, formatted to
n/troff, etc).

Any suggestions for HOW to produce the cookbook,
in WHAT order to arrange it
and any other questions that I haven't thought of?

How about formatting it a la refer(1)?  That way keywords can be used,
it's online, and output can easily be tailored to one's taste.

It's a lost cause; net communication has it all over books.  With a
book, the book has to be printed, and you have to go out and buy it,
and you never know whether it will have the recipe you're looking
for, or whether it will be any good.

On the net, you just ask for what you want!  "Ask and it shall be
opened unto you ..."
