[This is a version of a mail I sent to mono-docs-list a few days ago. The silence over there was deafening, so I'm posting here as well. Replies to mono-docs-list are welcomed.]
Hi, my name's Shane, and I'm going to be spending some time over the next few weeks revising and extending the existing documentation. I plan to be focusing on the Gtk# API doc and on cleaning up the monkeyguide. However, I'm new to Mono, so I need other people's comments. Here's your chance to get your thoughts in and have someone else do the work. ;-) So, experienced (and not-so-experienced) developers: what do you think the documentation needs that it doesn't currently have? Erik's explained to me that the monkeyguide is targeted at two sets of developers: Windows/.NET -experienced developers who need to know about Mono, and Linux-experienced developers who need to know about .NET. How well do you think the existing monkeyguide addresses those users? What would make it better? I'm already planning to restructure the whole document; I'll probably pull the "how to install" stuff out to an appendix, for example, and make the first few chapters much more of a crash course in what Mono is and why you'd want to use it. I'm in the process of working up an outline, which I expect to post once I've got my brain wrapped around things a bit better. Again, please join mono-docs-list if you care at all about this, as I expect there will be more discussion there. srl -- Shane Landrum --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- '90 CB-1, '81 GS450E _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
