Before I did a couple of rage quits on StackOverFlow, I wanted it to be the definitive place for learning any computer topic from the beginning through advanced topic, especially esoteric topics. You could easily build the ultimate learning guide given enough questions, linking, etc.
I spent quite a bit of time on elisp questions. For example:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170528/writing-hello-world-in-emacs https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2170528/writing-hello-wo...
I think I had close to 200 questions at one point.
- codinghorror 8y agoIt's not a bad idea, but speculative questions (will anyone really ask this?) lead down the path of the "documentation" effort which was hugely risky and eventually got pulled. https://stackoverflow.com/documentation https://stackoverflow.com/documentation
- melling 8y agoNo one wants to read documentation. You want to throwdown enough breadcrumbs from hello world to any topic you might wish to know to get things done in a language. More of a cookbook.
