It's funny you mention this.
About a year ago I was busy setting something up: a Wiki about best practices and how to understand Haskell, XSLT and Prolog and several other non-imperative languages from the point of view of imperative languages. Mainly, because that's the background most people have (like Java, C, VB etc) and because the functional aspects of XSLT and the logic of Haskell and Prolog were giving me headaches. I imagined other people struggling the same way when trying about. And somehow I figured that a lot of people eventually find the learning curve too steep and drop xslt or the likes altogether. Which is a pity. In my search for good "best practices" I didn't find any (though a very helpful Cookbook from O'Reilly got me a long way), so I started my own. My only problem back then: I didn't have enough experience to really write such a thing. Now it is offline (iwhile it was online I never made it "googleable"). What I can do in the next week or so is putting online again what I had achieved so far and, with permission of course, merge some postings of xsl list and dpawson into best practices. The rest should be easy: I use WikiMedia software and all that interested people should do is help the site to become more useful, more informative, more correct and, definitely, bigger. Now that I hear you talk about this, and now that I have some more experience with XSLT, I'd be most happy to take this initiative alive again. If anybody is interested, or even remotely enthusiastic about it, I know I definitely should ;) Cheers to you all! Abel Phillip B Oldham wrote: Hi all
