[gameprogrammer] Re: Wiki?

["Rob Quill" <rjquill@rllmuk.com>]

I second this idea. A encyclopedia would be an invaluable resource. There
are often times when I am left skipping over most of an email becuase I am
unsure of what is being talked about, so an encyclopedia of sorts would be a
good thing, especially if it contained relatively advanced programing
concepts as well as game programming concepts because sometimes people
mentioning these throws me a bit.

Just my two pence.
