Hi,

thanks for the interest.

The manual is based on the CPS from the subversion trunk. Much of the text
I have is from notes I have made over the last 18 months, some of which
are pretty bad and will be re-worked. I expect the finished manual to be
reasonably accurate for CPS 3.3.5, although still useful for previous CPS
versions.

I can't give a date for publication, it depends how busy I am etc. I
expect (hope) less then 4 weeks, but this may change.

I haven't published the manual yet. I won't publish it until it is
finished. You can find it in the workspace
/espace_travail_partage/documentation_for_users/cps3_english_manual on the
CPS-Project site. The link below is to the file, but you'll need to login.

>CPS3 English Manual</a>

About merging our work I agree. I have put a fair amount of time into the
manual so far, and there is still a lot more that can be done. It would be
good to develop a really good manual for CPS.

However, the next time I start a manual like this I think I would like to
design the manual structure first. If this becomes a community effort it
will probably be essential.

If more than one person is involved in the manual, we should develop and
work from a design. The chapter layout and structure needs to be
determined before adding the content.

This will help ensure we don't duplicate each others work, and, more
importantly, have a similar "look and feel" all the way through.

I look forward to working with you to develop some better documentation
for CPS.

Anyway, I'll get this first version out of the way first. We can discuss a
design for a future manual after this is published.
