Hi,

First of all, I'd like to whish all of you a happy 2009!

About you message:
The docs you mention provide most of the info: language definition,
compiler info,  base libraries, samples.
Together with a bit of history, experience with programming
(preferable with embedded systems) and some testing, you will get
there.

My point is that these are a lot of sources you have to combine. The
jalv2 html manual, for instance, does not mention conditional compile.
And it does not cover any libraries.
But to answer you question: I seem to be the only one so I don't
intend to work on the manual but spend my time on my other projects
(until next week - then i'll probably run out of time again ;)

As an alternative for documentation, it could be an idea to create a
main page (on the net or within the distribution) that has a link to
all major sources:
- jalv2 html manual
- jallib reference
- jal(lib) blog
- examples (it would be nice if they where browseable, but probably
hard to get a decent indent in html..)
- jaledit
- deployment (bootloaders, wisp648, xwisp2 etc).


Btw: the links in the table of content in the jalv2 html manual don't
work on my computer (both on firefox and IE). Do they work for you?
If not, how (and who) to fix this?

Joep
