Yes, I am wondering whether I should get this on LCNC wiki, or just make my own homepage or gitorious wiki to do this. Documentation is always twice as hard as writing the code. I try, at least, to update some documents as I go. But, you are right, it needs quite a bit of improvement, including proper discussion space. > As for added functionality, I'd certainly want to see a meta-level > ability in gcmc to include* user-defined units of functionality** at > runtime.

Will require a bit work, but is an important feature. Once an include facility is in place, then a user-space library can be created for common (more complex) tasks. Some (simple) functions may become built-ins once it is established what common requirements are. > Some other messages have flashed by which border on programming-language > bashing.
