What a great idea which really ought to be in a spreadsheet!

  Or a wiki, more appropriately.

I second the wiki suggestion. My experience, thus far, with Google Docs: - Click on link and browse around a bit - As usual, use backspace key to go back to HN - Nothing happens, tap backspace key a few more times out of habit - Accidentally delete most of the presentation

Has a lot of great information for anyone interested in startups. I have to agree with the rest also, would be nice in a wiki format. However, it seems that it was just thrown together as a mash-up of resources - kind of a first stage document. Hopefully with some more effort it can be a wiki page.

Really good idea, whatever format you publish it in. Will save many searches of hacker news archives.

This is great, as is rchaudhary's link. I can usually deal very well with tools/software/etc, but I have more problems getting really straight answers on non-technical things sometimes. Does anybody have similar links for business processes? "Here's the least amount of accounting/legal/business/etc you need for starting up a business..." Quick steps like: - Use this template as your Articles of Organization and file for an LLC. - Get a company credit card and buy everything on it. - Your accounts should look like "this" - Here's the steps you go through to add money from your personal savings to your company's in a clean way (no corporate veil piercing or anything of that nature) _after_ the beginning of the company - A guide to internet advertising -- what works/what doesn't/who the players are Programmers have so many bulidings blocks these days for handling sys admin, money handling, etc, but there are still a lot of things I'm very curious about and can't seem to find a single simple source of information for.

  If anybody could recommend a good book of this sort I'd be very interested. Just lightweight, 'IANAL' good guidelines for young businesses.

Something looks very wrong with it, chrome 10.0.612.3 dev on win XP.

  I believe it's been vandalized (anyone can edit it).

Did anyone copy it down?

  There's a revision history available under the File menu. I went back to the 700s and it was still trashed. If you can find the last good version, you can revert.
