Hi all. :) I have made updates to the manual. There are a lot to make.
I've gone through the release notes and have notes of various changes and lists of all the supported plugins. As a result of that I've updated the Quick Reference and have posted it and as far as I know it's up-to-date and accurate. I've made inroads into the manual. I think the structure is still right. I'm very unhappy with the quality of the original writing and think it basically all needs to be rewritten (there are a lot of "you"s that need to come out). So Part I is mostly done. I've gone through and globally removed "enable advanced features" from the whole manual and some similar things. Part II is all about configuration and that needs extensive changes (and some of it was never finished). I think most of Part III (the plugins) has been rewritten (language wise) but I don't think it's been updated for the modern plugins. I have to check that. I've found lots of the examples need updating (things have changed in OS X) and that takes time too. There are still 60 references to B51 and the like. I do make progress and then put it down for all too long. I was in fact going to get back to it this week. I know that all the images really need to be updated and that's a lot of work. My current thoughts are to finish Parts I and III and put a draft out. And then go back for Part II (and ultimately Part IV). I think a wiki would be great addition, though if I were doing it, I'd start from the new plugin documentation rather than the manual. It's more up-to-date, it's easier to get the list of things currently supported from it, and it's already in a wiki-like format.
