This is a forwarded message that I though some of you might be interested in. I have used ComPile a number of times, and find it to be a great resourse. It sounds like it is getting better.

Colleagues,

We invite you to visit CompFAQs , a Wiki extension of CompPile , and a new resource for compositionists.

CompFAQs features topics in college composition that repeatedly attract questions despite the fact that a substantial body of answers are available.CompFAQs does not aim to give all the answers, just to provide an ongoing base of reliable information and a fund of resources.

CompFAQs is our response to a WPA-L email conversation earlier this
month among Joe Williams, Greg Colomb, Rich Haswell, Robert Royar, and
Tim Gustafson (see a brief account of this conversation on the CompFAQs
site ).

CompFAQs is in Wiki format. This is so the topics will be community
built rather than singled authored. All it takes for anyone to enlarge
and edit any topic is internet access and email to get the password.
Composing on Wiki is simple as pie--even Rich figured it out.

CompFAQs is meant to be an interactive resource for our professional
community, "so that the recurring questions and their "settled-ness"
could be collaboratively composed by various people in the discipline
who are knowledgeable about a particular area" (Gustafson 10/6/05). We
are still developing guidelines for how this will work, but we know we
want to encourage contributions and participation from the widest
possible professional audience, and we know we want CompFAQs resources
to be useful to the widest possible professional audience. We expect
that our colleagues around the country (and the world) will help define
the scope, methods, and uses of CompFAQs as the site evolves.

For the first CompFAQ, Christiane (Tiane) Donahue has developed the
beginnings of a resource for "International Composition Studies," and we
think it serves as an exemplary model of one way that CompFAQs can serve
the profession. Rich has started a resource for "Regression and Writing
Skills"; and we have posted two other starts developed in response to
questions on WPA-L in the past few weeks: "Writing Majors" and
"Composition and Emotion" (a bibliography compiled by Ian Montgomery
from postings to WPA-L in early October).

We have started a list of other issues that would be candidates for
CompFAQs, and we invite you all to make suggestions, too. You'll find
the list at , or you
can follow the link on the left menu or at the bottom of the main page
of CompFAQs .
