Hi Kevin

  
This is a pretty good start towards a technique compendium, but I can think of a few things you missed. There’s element stressing (as discussed at Brickfest ‘06),

This presentation about stressing the elements is HUGE but suffer from being not widely known. Every builder have to read it.

   and I think it would benefit from a section on articulation.

Yes. Seen very good things on mechahub about articulation - again not widely known, for instance “Joint Technology” by Chris Snead :

http://www.mechahub.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=167

(two parts)

(PS : check also in mechahub articles section stuffs about “Gestalt”)

   After all, joints aren’t just for mecha! Also, sculpture techniques such as Bram’s LSculpt are worth a mention,

I agree, worth a mention. (and more)

   and perhaps a section on angles.

Sorry, I can’t really see what you mean exactly.

  
I think a website would be more suited for this project. Having it as a .pdf necessitates downloading the same content every new update, and there’s the question of how often to update. Having a single author limits the range, because of course nobody has the time to follow all the various genres for technique advances. And as you already experienced, the danger of burnout is always present in one person trying to tackle such a huge amount of information.

You are totally right on these points. I’m about to reply about Brickwiki farther on this thread.
