As signalled a short while ago, the Statalist FAQ has been
revised, largely to take account of the advent of Stata 8.
It is accessible, as from every other Statalist posting,
from a URL below.
Despite a few deletions, it keeps growing slowly!
For a fair while, we have had the habit of not naming
authors of sections of the FAQ, largely because several
people have had a go at writing bits and pieces over
the years. Nevertheless, at the risk of being a little
arbitrary, some names spring to mind as having had
a major share, and they deserve thanks from time to
time.
Taking names in inverse alphabetical order allows
me to start with
David Wormuth, who started Statalist;
Marcello Pagano, who does more nitty-gritty
work behind the scenes than anyone imagines;
Ken Higbee, who did most of the initial
conversion to HTML;
Bill Gould, who wrote some very large
chunks;
Lisa Gilmore, who puts up, and puts up
with, all sorts of intermittent major
and minor revisions;
Kit Baum, for the SSC side of the FAQ
and several other good ideas besides.
