Request: Wiki or Cookbook

[jgarte]

Hi wdyt of having a wiki or cookbook for using mblaze, sharing tips, tricks, and/or workflows?

Some things are scattered across blog posts and it would be nice to have a quickstart guide for getting productive with mblaze and doing basic things.

For example, how does one reply to an email or how do I continue composing a draft before I send it?

The above common task and others would be nice entries for a cookbook. Otherwise, the process feels quite slow for learning mblaze. Equipped with that basic knowledge, reading the man pages would be easier as a quick reference for new use cases and further learning.

I have opened the Wiki to all people with a Github account, feel free to use it. :)

For example, how does one reply to an email or how to I continue composing a draft before I send it?

I think mrep should be discoverable from mblaze(7), and if you started editing a draft with mcom you may find mcom -r. but ymmv.

Thanks!

Hopefully people who use mblaze regularly can share their tips and advice on it. Just reading the man page is not enough for me to learn a program unless I know it already to some degree or it's very trivial. I imagine also that only having a man page as a means of learning mblaze might not fit the learning styles of various individuals. This is where the wiki might prove useful and welcoming for those types of learners, atleast at the outset, before they dive into the man pages and/or source code.

For mblaze, I'd prefer to have various/extensive direct examples to get an idea for what the author's original intended regular use looks like.

Equipped with that knowledge, I can then find my own unique ways to use and compose other tools in the Unix IDE with mblaze.

I'll try to add what I can to the wiki given my current knowledge of mblaze.
