Dear Readers,
As many of you know, I have been the editor of the Info-LabVIEW FAQ
since it's inception in 1999. While I was with ICON Technologies, ICON
provided the web space and resources to host the FAQ on its web site
<>. I have recently left
ICON for a new position and as such I have decided to move the FAQ to a
new host.
From the many options available for a new host, I have decided to
relocate the FAQ to the LAVA forums
<>. Thanks
especially to the generous donation of time and resources from Micahel
Aivaliotis in making this transition speedy and painless.
The reasons for hosting the FAQ on the LAVA forum are numerous. Som
e of
these are:
1. The forum format allows any member of the LabVIEW community the
freedom to add FAQs as they become FAQ'ed rather than waiting on my time
to do the data collection. I think that this is important to allow the
FAQ to progress and grow as the community decides rather than as my time
dictates. The FAQ forum will always be moderated and to begin with I
will be playing the role of moderator so it shall remain a clean,
impartial repository of all the great knowledge that we accumulate as we
wire away.
2. The forum format allows attachment of images so it is now easier to
include diagrams for illustration.
3. The forum format encourages topic breakdowns enhancing the FAQ
readability.
In addition, I hope that the FAQ will grow to encompass information
gleaned from the comp.lang newsgroups and truly become the first stop
for those seeking LabVIEW enlightenment.
In the near future we will be looking at creating a html and pdf
downloadable version of the FAQ as was
done previously, so keep your
mice poised for this development.
Hope your wires remain forever unbroken 😉
