View Full Version : Starting a comprehensive CSS reference

Wasn't sure where to post, but: I'm trying to start an end-all CSS reference. However, while I know the material for it, I can't write 100+ articles and keep my sanity. So I ask, is anyone interested in joining?

http://dotdan.com/quickcss is the layout (as of now),
http://dotdan.com/quickcss/toc.txt is the temporary table of contents
http://quickcss.com is the domain (nothing on it, yet)

I'd have asked on WHT or the like, but I like to keep my standards high. :)

I'll help out. That's the problem I hear from 90% of the developers I know. The W3C spec, while it is the end-all be-all, is very high-level, hard to read, and doesn't include many valuable examples.

The flip side is that most of this information is out there, but it's spread across 100's of sites, and done in 100's of ways. It'd be nice to collect it all in one place.

One thing I'd start by doing is contacting some of the more well-known CSS Gurus and see if they'd help by contributing their pieces to it (Eric Meyer, all the people that write articles for ALA, etc.).

Good idea sonicgroup. That was the problem I was facing as well: Even I've had trouble deciphering, or even finding, information on W3C.

You're right about spread information, and that's half the point of this: Googling for CSS help sucks. :) Also, w3schools is good, but doesn't go in depth.

I'll shoot an email to ALA and Eric Meyer and see what they say.
