For that reason , usable parts of this article may be incorporated into the above chapter and information about the new networking state may be added and this article may be eliminated completely . If it is modernized and left alone , over time again it will become outdated because it is very likely that it will not be utilized very much as it is understood from its existent state . The Handbook is a required and used document and it is continuously updated . Actually , cooperation among contributors may be very useful in the following sense : Assume that a person has sufficient knowledge to rewrite some parts . He or she prepares a plain text document containing the necessary information . Another person knowing very well how to develop a web page , converts that text document to a suitable web page even he or she does not know semantics of the content . It is difficult to find a person that knows "everything well" and has "time unlimited" . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
