Hi Pim

Jmol is an open source project, and this basically means that anyone 
can contribute to its development.
As you point out, keeping documentation is a hard task, and any help 
is welcome.

If you compare the rate of growth of RasMol vs. that of Jmol you can 
see why there is not such a thing.

Agreed. Can you devote some time to help?
The Wiki is the easy place for anyone to collaborate, but that is not 
happening too often.

Rigt, and it took me quite a lot of time to build it. A pleasure, but 
not something one can do every week.

No, but we all would love to have such. You can start those plans if 
you like.

As I said, the wiki is open to anyone to go and write there.
