Yes, I've started to write a replacement for that page a couple of times 
... never managed to come very close to having a useful page finished to 
replace it with yet.

That's not quite accurate.  I succeeded in getting in touch with him and 
he gave me the near perfect reply which I'll paraphrase as "I gave my 
work to the community and have no problem seeing it updated/improved".  
Near perfect as the perfect answer would of course have been "I've just 
updated it" :-P

So if anyone can write a new/better version of that page I for one would 
really welcome it.

There's no way the existing content is going to be removed, as others 
have pointed out there is some great stuff there.   I'd welcome any 
content that stands up to the general quality of prior submissions to 
the ilug site and rethank their authors for their work.

Niall
