But forthfreak is far from an forth encyclopedia, it needs a hundred times more information and direction to technical break downs of the hundreds, if not thousands, of concepts going around here and in standards considerations, to have a repository of technique and customisations out there. At least forth wiki is called forthwiki. As to no content, hence my idea, that the principle people of forth could contribute their vast understanding to building such a resource, like technical manual to all things forth. For the life of the language left, such a thing would be handy for novice and expert a like. Steve.
