Weblog Documentation and Help
Radio Doc Sources
Here are bookmarks to various places and people where Al Macintyre has found Radio Documentation. Only a handful have been thoroughly explored by Al, so no doubt this directory will be a living document with periodic updates. Al's interests also tend to shift as Al journeys over the learning curves of Radio Userland. There are a few things here that are not exactly documentation. In time I may split this story into sub-topics. It is a hard judgement call when something gets to be excessively long as opposed to having all this kind of thing in one place.
Normally on my home page I am scrupulously careful to say that person A sent this to person B to C to D and then to me, but here I am not going to even attempt to credit where I found the links to which people, I am just going to do raw links, identify the person providing the services, and link to them. While exploring one person's documentation and Radio Tips we find links to other people, and after a while I tend to lose track of who should be credited for originally finding me which other people.
By using indented bulleted lists on each of these guys, I can clarify what's on each person, and even use some of the same terminology. Many of these people have a directory similar to mine - I will try to give that first on each person, since lots of updates will occur there. When we have not been to someone site recently we may miss a lot of new good stuff.
Sequence here is reverse alphabetical surname so the people listed last in other people lists are first in mine, for a change in pace and who most likely to be looked at first. However, within a person where I have links to some of their documents, the stuff is sequenced by what we might want to look at first beginner stuff, second, etc. more advanced.

- Radio Misconceptions coming from AOL.
- Radio for people coming from particular OS platform worlds.
- I think that everyone's documentation could go on a CD Rom, or PDF download, supplied with a Search Engine ... you key in some thing you want to learn, and get links to all the different people who have done documentation on that. This publishing bypasses the traditional places and gets money from the users to the writers, through the sale of CD Rom or downloads. Just have to be very careful to deliver credit and royalties to the right information sources.
- When I learn how to do Images and Diagrams and Flowcharts in Radio, I want to have a picture of a populated Radio site in which people can left click and right click to get different menus that basically provide the terminology what this is, and links to tutorials how to do whatever. I was inspired for this idea by Pamela's House. Click on any window to see what I mean, then move mouse around to see what else has connections.

- Scott's Radio = a collection of stuff about Radio
- Scott seems to be one of the most prolific suppliers of Radio documentation, outside of Radio Userland. He seems to have a good understanding for lost souls, rapidly identifying points where the official documentation says one thing but we see a different picture.

- This guy is offering an e-commerce Inventory Application using Frontier and Radio Userland. Documentation is in French and in English. He also has an early warning system. If your Frontier Server goes down, it will still manage to call home via e-mail, which presumably some people can convert to notify people via pager or IM or some other communication method. You can read his DocServer2Man via Unix. He has Frontier documentation. He has instructions how to do Manila in Chinese. Do you believe this guy? Wow!
