Hmm. I'd be glad to contribute, if it would help. I've been trying to organize useful chunks of code I've written about dealing with web-form-posting and other net-related scripting at <http://www.danshockley.com>. I think it's a great idea, and I'll try to write up some stuff on things I know if we've got somewhere to post it. I think it's a good idea to let other edit and update scripts. We'd want to allow people to show alternate ways to do things without making it too confusing, I guess. Sometimes the commentary makes it harder to see simplicity. I love the examples here where someone writes in the simplest case. then, someone else points out that the first solution will break if something slightly un-common occurs. Eventually, a handler has been written that solves the problem, and accounts for lots of potential problems.

What I'm speaking about is just an idea. If I want to know something deep and dark and rare about Applescript. I don' t look for documentation. That would be pointless and foolish. I come here. This list's members are the best source of information about AppleScript on the planet. But it's not very accessible. Some of the members of this
list work and eat and sleep when they could be answering questions!
... What I suggest is that someone (TBD) operate a geeklog* powered
AppleScript site that functions as a way of making documentation and
discussion available continuously.
