[JP]>Some ideas for articles to start things off I had are stuff like:
[JP]>-a simple skeleton PM application to get people started
[JP]>-how to install and set up gcc, emx/gcc, gnu make, etc.
[JP]>-reviews of any commercial development stuff that gets released
[JP]>-good books to buy, etc.
[JP]>-considerations for programming dos under os/2, releasing 
[JP]>timeslices, etc.
[JP]>-etc.
[JP]>
[JP]>So? What do you think? Anyone willing to contribute? I would be willing to 
[JP]>collect articles, edit into a fairly coherent thing, and distribute - _if_ I 
[JP]>can get articles. :)

That's a great idea Steve!

Here are some suggestions:
	. Even though some of the threads of comp.os.os2.{programmer,misc} carry 
	  a lot of "noise", they are a extremely valuable source of information.
	  Gathering pieces, doing some smart cut-and-paste, adding some sentences
	  to cement the pieces and you got your article! Talk about a collective
	  work!
	. A column about "classified tips" will be welcome (customize WPS, increase
	  performance, install drivers, ...)
	. a list of supported hardware and associated drivers would be great.
	. Thumbs UP and DOWN for new products (hardware, software, companies) based on
	  polls and reactions from the news readers.
	  Recommended shareware and freeware.
	  Reaction on what/why they bought.
	. List of known bugs and fixes
	. List of suggestions on how to make OS/2 (and any OS/2 app.) a better product
	. statistics on who's out there? Profile of the OS/2 user? What hardware and 
	  software do they use? How much do they spend on computer stuff? etc...

	. And my personal favorite for today "what is the cheapest, OS/2 supported
	  CD-ROM available?"

I will be happy to contribute as writter if the readers don't mind my awkward way of
using english as a second language (my first language being Frrrrench).

In any case I will be a fervent reader.

Again, it's a wonderful idea!

[JP]
