You know, we have the carnival festival here, which begin (today already) Saturday and will last till Monday.. ;-) Seriously though, I must admit that I was not ready for such an involvement challenge, but I assure you, my message was intended to be a constructive message, and No, i am not looking for a "looser" willing to make something for me for free, moreover, in case that I had to deal with such a person, I would never describe him as "looser" but rather a generous (where the leading 'g' coming from genius) man who would deserve all my respect and appreciation. (needless to say that you, and all harbour developers, fall into this greatly appreciated category of experts, who have taken "a stalled to death" project and have made it the most exciting xbase compiler since 20th century's clipper.) Now, about the documentation subject, I didn't say it is an "easy" task. Besides, the quality levels of harbour development have been set too high, (i'd say scaring high <g>), and as i understand it, any attemp to document the project must conform to these high levels. That said, I'm not sure that I am the most qualified person to become a harbour documentor. On the other hand, i am definitely sure that i want to help/contribute, to the measure i can. I know that "having some ideas" about how things must be done (like the "thought" i did post in my previous message), to the point to put these ideas to work, the gap is notoriously huge. However, no job can be done without a basic plan, which in turn is based on "some ideas". My very basic idea is that we must start creating a functions reference skeleton, keeping some fundamental priorities: a. it must be concise and complete b. it must be correct c. it must be usable d. it must be open to anyone willing to add extensions (particularly, source code samples) provided that don't break b. and c. For now, this is all i can think plus that i am willing to offer my limited time and my broken english, but since i am not a technical writer i have no idea about the real difficulties, specific demands or potential obstacles that could void the task. I just say: okay, send me whatever texts you think are appropriate for starting and give me some time to study "if and how" i could edit and give a form to them. Even better, if you have a more elaborated plan, please let me know how i could help. regards, -- Pete __________________________________________________ Χρησιμοποιείτε Yahoo!; Βαρεθήκατε τα ενοχλητικά μηνύματα (spam); Το Yahoo!
