Just an afterthought which more properly belongs to the topic Linton raised.

The avowed purpose of all who contributed to OneShots original CADC was to help and assist
newcommers to DW in acquiring basic skills and enjoying the full potential of the game. Progress seems
to have stalled.

I am sure the reticence, mentioned above, is a prime inhibiter. Not everyone likes a public Wicky
for many reasons. The preferred approach may be to run any paper in front of respected senior
players prior to publishing. I approached Molon Labe, who kindly cast an eye over
SVAK before it went public and I have acknowledged this in the documentation.

Another process would be to establish a 'Steering Committee' of 'seniors' to approve papers on
techniques prior to publication. The sole objective would be to agree and approve standards.
Lets face it currently a newcommer is either faced with a complete void or a choice of good,
bad or indifferent advice. Catch 22 ? You need to be expert to distinguish but you wont
become expert until you can ?
