> QUESTION #2: Has anyone tried/used the IBM tutorials?  Any good?

The IBM DeveloperWorks materials may quite possibly be the *BEST*
materials ON THE PLANET!

IBM DeveloperWorks ROCKS!!!

They've been recommended before on this list for both Novice and VERY
VERY advanced topics.  They have one article that makes writing a
GNOME-VFS module as easy as falling of a log - you read it, and then its
like "Duh! Of course....".  A couple of hours and I could see LDAP
objects in Nautilus (well, just before it seg-faulted, but I'm certain
thats my problem). 

> QUESTION #3: What about posting these links on our Website here:
> http://www.kalamazoolinux.org/linky/index.php?category=Novice
> (There are currently no links in this category.)

Anyone can submit links to the webpage.

> QUESTION #4: If "we" do post these links, should we use the
> "straight" IBM links, or the OSDN "ad" link? 

Straight to the destination side, otherwise it is kind of ethically
iffy.

Don't know.
