&gt;&gt; Other than that -- want to start writing such a 101 text?.

&gt; I volunteer to assist with any such effort. You also mentioned the
&gt; various scenarios:

The scenarios are probably an easier task to start with, especially
once I roll the older archives off tape.

&gt; This, as well as a '101' or 'Mud Programming Encyclopedia', would
&gt; be quite useful. They could (should) also be cross-refenced back
&gt; to the list archives, pointing to relevant threads.

I am currently in the process of fleshing out the Library section of 
Kanga.Nu with mirrors of relevant pages and a set of pages acting as 
an index (cf the MUDdex) and guide across the collection.  Topics so 
far range from hard core coding considerations (such as the various
unix/sockets/etc FAQ's) to more classical MUD topics, game design etc.

Note to all: Suggestions of sites to add to the collection are
welcome if sent to mud-dev-owner#kanga,nu.

&gt; Should such a thing live on kanga.nu itself? 

I don't see why not.  (Bandwidth will be improving significantly
before too too long (gotta love ADSL))

&gt; Or would it be better to put it elsewhere? 

As one of the major reasons to put it on Kanga.Nu is web rot, I'd
like to keep the master copy there.  I see no problem however ith
having other external mirrors of the Kanga.Nu base.

&gt; I have access to some space on a stable web server, but I don't
&gt; think they provide anything beyond the basic access (e.g. searches
&gt; would be nice).

WebGlimpse will enter the fray yet again for Kanga.Nu...

&gt;&gt; I'm sure Koster would appreciate assistance in collecting such
&gt;&gt; 'laws' in cogent form.

&gt; maybe we can add this to the '101' project .

True.  I suspect it would be better to leave them isolated for now.
Its easier to solve narrow problems than to render grand designs.
We can then do the link-ups afterwards.

&gt;&gt; Monolith...

&gt; what exactly does this "Teamer's" stuff mean anyways?

An old in-house joke concerning the fact that I used to work for
IBM, am an OS/2 advocate, refuse to join Team OS/2, my posting
habits in the old ILink OS-Discuss forum, etc etc etc.  Its rather
deep and endlessly self-referential.
