Subject: Time: 11:47 AM OFFICE MEMO FAQ, Walkthroughs and requests Date: 1/21/97 I apologize for jumping into this mail list without reading more of the archive, but the msg from Alexandre Rafalovitch struck a resonate cord. I would benefit greatly from a step-by-step walkthrough of how to do something like catch form data. I have Jigsaw running on a Win95 machine at home and a Sparc/Solaris2.5 machine at work. I can serve up plain-vanilla html docs, but am having trouble putting the concepts together to do the equivalent of catching form data with a cgi script. I will be able to figure it out, but it is a painful process (well worth the effort, if I understand what Jigsaw brings to the party!). I need to study Jigsaw some more before I start asking serious questions of this list, I just wanted to second the request for some basic hand-holding. Thanks, Bob Barter -------------- Alexandre Rafalovitch writes: Thanks for fast reply Anselm, Do you think it is worth being in FAQ. Maybe now that there are more people using Jigsaw, we can add a lot of non-evident information to FAQ (that is non-evident to us :-} ). Also, do anybody think it might be a good idea to have several walk-throughs to show how to do simple/complex things in step by step fashion. This would get people started. We could have section on web cite with 'How to' questions and answers. I could write several, once I get past 'baby' stage... The reason I ask is because I have several request on my mind that I am going to ask, so it would be good to keep them in a form more orginized than just mail archive. The last addition, I would like would be Requests section. Preferably automatic with Good/Bad counter on how many people looked at it and if any reply were generated. I know, it is a big thing to ask :-{ , or is it not? Also, some of the documentation that comes with Sample sites has pointers in nowhere. Is that because it IS sample site, or I should report them. If I need to report them, than where should it go? You bet I will stay put... It is one hot piece of software Alex.
