We have been working on a Snitz Project for the past couple of months.
About the Project The project is mainly to provide a documentation for users who are intrested in creating mods for thier forum. It will provide detailed information about every subroutine and function used in the forum code. Also detailed information about every database table and field used by the forum. Information on how to install mods and the security concerns a user should know about.
We believe mods shouldn't be created by just the admins or dev team members or the advanced snitz users. We believe all users should be able to mod thier forum to the way they want it. And give something back to the community.
What's Required? I'm glad you asked. A lot of persons think you got to be a asp guru to write a document like this, but that's not really true. A basic knowledge of the VBScript language is enough. Here's a few other requirements:
What's in it for me? You mean you wouldn't just do this for fun?
Your name and/or username will be included as being part of the Snitz Development team when the document is published. Right along side the rest of the other developers. How cool is that? 
If you're insterested just post here or you can email me via this forum.<

- Basic understanding of the Snitz Forums code
- Have installed a mod and also created a mod of your own
- Have a willingness to help
- A little free time

Well, I had originally offered my help as a proofreader, but over the past year or so, I've learned quite a bit about Snitz from tinkering around "under the hood", so to speak. I'd be willing to help take over the project if there was at least one other person who could help. There's still a lot for me to learn about Snitz, but I think I could contribute some knowledge and a fair amount of proofreading to the guide.<

Are you wanting to keep adding the info to the javascripts like that? (did that make any sense? time for another cup of coffee.)
I ask so I can make sure I'm using the same format. I keep saying I'm going to help, but never quite get around to writing down what I stumble across...
Oh, and for some random and utterly useless trivia, that was my second post here up above...<

Davio...
Per your suggestion, here is my post offering assistance.
Lots of posts... not much progress. As a Project Manager for some small projects, I would be hitting the booze! You have GOT to be frustrated. What can be done to get this project running again?!?

how perfect would a wiki be for the documentation project?<

I don't suppose this "looong document" is available somewhere? I'd like to be able to see it as-is (even if it is hard to read, it would be better than nothing). Does it include descriptions of variables used in the code?
For example, I happened to stumble across an mlev check and wondered what that variable was for (and what were the possible values and their meanings)? I started looking for general documentation, but only found this thread through AnonJr's old thread, before I realized I should just search for the variable directly. While I got my answer (after trying a few threads in the "mlev variable" search result), it was qualified by an "I think, I'm a little rusty on this part" (happened to be a post by AnonJr, too).<

The mod document in this topic doesn't cover variables, but it does cover tables, fields, functions, and subroutines.<
