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.


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.


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).


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


Or a wiki, more appropriately.


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.
