Ah, yes, i understand this issue now, making it consistent across various versions would be a pain. Either way, i would recommend a new directory entry to /doc/ , that would be /doc/contrib , which will contain user contributed documentations. And should be with a Post Script in README file " Genode labs doesn't monitor the consistency and validity of the documents provided here, these are contribute by the community for educational purpose " -- /althaf k backer/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
