Resource List Coming Soon - Suggestions Please!

[Mike]

I'm working on creating a "resource list" thread that will be stickied in the "Getting Started" section. Once that's up, any suggestions can go in that thread and I'll continuously update the first post according to the suggestions. For now, I have a lot of resources in my own list, and based on those, I kind of came up with the categories for the big list of resources. Let me know if anyone has any suggestions for this layout, or if you have resources you use that you think should go in any of the categories below.

Most of these are self explanatory, but mostly I think the links should be extremely useful with a lot of information, like explanations of specific technologies, calculators, guides to choosing components, configuration examples/guides, tuning guides, setup guides, flashing guides, assembly guides, etc. Really, any documentation will be valuable, although it will be smartest if we have the best document for every topic so it doesn't get too convoluted and confusing.

Hopefully I'll have the thread and my list up by tomorrow evening. Thanks!!

I'm also looking to get a glossary thread going. I already have a pretty good one going in a spreadsheet from when I first started, so I'll start with that and let others suggest. That should be up in a couple of days as well.

Now that I think of it, maybe I will split the Trusted Retailers into a separate thread that's a directory of where to buy quad stuff.

Great, I will add those to the list! Sorry for the delay. Like I said in the other thread, work has been crazy. I'm working on a pretty crazy network design, but I think I got it all figured out as of a few minutes ago, so I should have a lot more time in the coming weeks!
