I'm currently in the process of moving the Basic4GL documentation and tutorials into a Wiki.
basic4gl.wikispaces.com/ to be more specific.
I could use a lot of help!
Currently I've just cut and pasted the documentation and tutorials from this site and hit save. I will endeavour to clean things up a bit more but there's a lot to sort out.
If anyone feels like helping out it's quite easy to do. Just register a Wikispaces login, goto basic4gl.wikispaces.com/ find something that looks like it needs fixing and click "Edit".
I've also put some basic notes at basic4gl.wikispaces.com/howyoucanhelp that discuss things like formatting code samples.
I really like the idea of having the documentation in an anyone-can-edit format as it really has been the community that has kept Basic4GL going. It would also give people the chance to contribute tutorials without having to email them to me and wait until I get around to fixing up the main website (and remind me when I forget to do so).
And it be a useful place to put FAQs from this discussion board ("how do I load a 3D model"
), or cool example programs that people have posted etc.
There's a lot of useful information buried in this message board which could be turned into documentation or tutorials.
So anyway, I strongly encourage you all to head over there and see if there's anything you can do.

P.S. Dodica, I hijacked your Wikispace. Hope you don't mind. I've still left the original basic4gl.wikispaces.com/welcome page intact.
