A small update on this: I have pushed the mallard sources to a new repository, gjs-documentation, togheter with the basic scripting to recreate the html version. Additionally, I have completed the documentation for the GLib and GObject overrides (so GLib.Variant.new and [deep_]unpack() are covered now), they will be on people.gnome.org soon. We have a wiki page, Projects/Gjs/Documentation, tracking all the work and all current issues, so more than ever, help is welcome :) Giovanni _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
