You're right, and I am thinking about it, but my time is also sparse. Perhaps ill have some time in 2007. Two additional notes before assigning all the documentation tasks to a newbie like me ;-) 1) Writing docs is not a one-time task but a kind of project-culture. 2) Docs should be written by the developers. I could delve in to the code, but I would need two hours to understand and document a thing, while the developer would need ten minutes. When I develop something myself, in the beginning im hacking just to get things work. But before I publish/commit anything (even to two/three collegues), I polish everything up. When thinking about how I could/would contribute, I had two thoughts: 1) Looking at other "high quality" UI-projects (eg. SWT or Swing) how do they document their stuff? 2) For users of the framework, I imagine a wikipage for each ui-component consisting of a fixed set of sections (usage, examples, tags, one sec. for each known renderer etc, link to the examples on irian etc.) E.g. if I would want to use tree2, I had one page documenting everything important. And by the way on would link everything wiki-like to other components/events etc Perhaps one could encourage active subscribers of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to write their "insights" in some structured form into the wiki!?
