The NetRexx Tutorial

[KP Kirchdörfer]

Hi;

recently I finally managed to get in contact with Pierantonio Marchesini
([hidden email]), who wrote "The Netrexx Tutorial" about 13 years ago.
Even it never has been finished, the existing 300+ pages has been an invaluable
help for me to learn programming in NetRexx.

Pierantonio kindly sent me the latest version of the html files and the example
classes (xclasses) he used in his tutorial and gave permission to make it
available again on the net.

netrexx.org would be the preferred and natural place IMHO.
But as long as the side is not going live, any other place will be welcome as
well. David, maybe your kenai site is a good one in the meantime??
It mostly can be provided as-is, though some of the links are outdated.

I think it's exceptionally well written and if we could fill the gaps, it will
become a great tutorial.

I'll attach the first two pages (without the gifs), so you can see yourself
what I'm talking about...

That's super news -- I'd be happy to host it on my Speleotrove site (assuming
it's less than 300MB)  if RexxLA does not have space for it right now.

UK Servers has a server with ooRexx 4.0 in CGI. Maybe they would host the Tutorial.  I would contribute the tab.

I see there're already some candidate sites for hosting the tutorial (even netrexx.org!) so there seems to be no need for netrexx-misc to host it. I'd be happy to host anyway if needed.

I'd like nonetheless to remind everyone that netrexx-misc.kenai.com has never been intended to be "my site" but a NetRexx centric web resource.
Any NetRexx related content and anyone is welcome to the site. Any one can register and receive access to wiki editing, file and source code repositories management, etc.

Would it be possible to get Pierantonio Marchesini to give a license, such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License used by Wikipedia, for this to be published as a wiki and freely updated?
