What a cool idea!! I would not be the one to give one though because my wife has been known to describe me (accurately) as, "if you want to make a short story long, let Jules tell it". My feeling is that many of use on the Evolt list and other places have been around for a while so we are looking for more advanced help and therefore, we tend not to discuss the basics any more. Perhaps some of us should put together (either individually or together) an introduction to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Many of the HTML tutorials on the 'Net are old and not based on proper standards -- some of us could work together to replace these. Lightning talks!!! What a cool idea!!

Or search engines that work smart, eg sorted on date, tags etcetera. If you google, you get scattered info. You lose time and track of everything. How about an advanced bookmark extension that eg is connected to your bookmarks and search engine entries? You need RSS feeds that filter out posts on relevancy.

However, they are forgetting that many of these "basics" have been said in books, articles, or conferences that are not easily accessible on the web. Well said -
