The Google search engine has been added, and works, although the pointers are still off by a little due to the delay between the site data base being stabilized and the last time the Google search engine/crawler indexed the site. This should resolve itself in the near future. Most importantly, the first donated FAQ page has been received and published. You can see it in all its glory at: http://www.fpga-faq.com/FAQ_Pages/0014_Xilinx_vs_Altera.htm THANKS Martin Thompson !!! I am sure this will inspire most of you to contribute your own donation to this site. Here's how: 1) Send me some email letting me know you are going to write a page on your favorite topic. If it collides with someone elses pending work I will let you know. If you dont have a favorite topic of your own, go to the archive, find an interesting thread, and edit it into an interesting FAQ page (remember to acknowledge the original authors). 2) Go to the site and download the template page at: http://www.fpga-faq.com/FAQ_Pages/FAQ_Entry_template.htm (select the above link in your browser, download it to your machine, edit it till it has good content, send it to me. See Martin's FAQ page 0014 as an excelent example of what can be done!) 3) Using your favorite editor, write an FAQ page. For example, VI, emacs, edlin, ultraedit, netscape composer, ....... see, lots of choices 4) send it to me for publication. NOTE that the archive is itself an excelent source of material, and you may of course use links to the archive in your FAQ pages. Unless something horrible happens, the archive, and it article pages and article numbers will remain static, so for instance, http://www.fpga-faq.com/archives/02450.html#2450 should always select the same article, even as new articles are added to the archive. The articles are linked with a line looks like: Links: << >> << T >> << A >> Is this obvious in its intent or should there be some help to explain how to use it? Search, Read, and Enjoy (on a more personal note, I missed the last episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun . If anyone has this recorded, and could lend it to me, I would be most grateful ! ) Philip Freidin =================== Philip Freidin philip@fliptronics.com Host for WWW.FPGA-FAQ.COM ###### From: Brian Dipert Newsgroups: comp.arch.fpga Subject: Re: The FAQ is Live and so is the Archive Organization: EDN Magazine Reply-To: bdipert@NOSPAM.pacbell.net Message-ID: References: <3srvgt48n9ig9v9e2fpb0o23e3o3681ovf@4ax.com> X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 1.8/32.548 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lines: 12 X-Complaints-To: abuse@easynews.com X-Complaints-Info: Please be sure to forward a copy of ALL headers otherwise we will be unable to process your complaint properly.
