Hi Boaz,
I've looked at the potato-factory, and to be honest I don't like the interface. The very fact that I have to logon before I can see anything makes it fairly useless for me.
Now, before and put in too much infrastructure, I think we can start small as follows: -- have people submit material to wine-devel -- various folks (volunteers needed) will collect them and post them in a nice, orderly manner to a special area (TBD) on WineHQ
This has the advantage of being a lot more controlled, and I'm sure the editorial review will pay off. If the volume becomes too big, we can consider in the future to automate the process. But until then, I think the manual approach is better.

I volunteer to do the collecting. Maybe Brain can help me format it and post it on the site? All I need is a template and the procedure. wine-devl is not good. It has a 40k size limit (got my 1Mg post rejected yesterday) . this is not big enough for paper + source code and project files. We need a bigger thing. Do we have the General OK to host it on Winehq?

No problems Help me with directions and I'll start. Than if I do a bad job you can all fire me later. That is of course if no one else wants to do it. Maybe Brain or Jeremy Newman are more suited for this Job.
One more thing. For the Post on CodeGuru/CodeProject, I thought on posting the porting of WinAMP. I want to pick that up and do it. Do you have any thing done, or should I start from scratch. OK I checked http://www.winehq.org/site/winelib#winamp you can put me in as volunteers found.

Just create something (say like the Fun Projects page), and we'll comment on that one. For now, things should just be one one page, until we enough to justify a more serious organization. I'll help with the formatting, once we have _something_ to format :)

wine-devel is fine. For things that are larger than 40k, things will go to the moderator, and he usually ACKs things withing reasonable size (say 100-200k). For larger things, a URL should be posted to the materials, or they can be emailed privately to you for inclusion. Let's not create another list, it will be too diluted.
