Hi Paul, Thanks for the posting the progress so far. Certainly put a smile on my face with a warm fuzzy glow seeing that an OSG book is now truly underway ;-)
In what form would you like suggestions/corrections? Pdf makes it easy to read, but not to correct typos. I wonder if providing it as a ODF or Word oducment to edit but do so with corrections in red or some other convention. When you want an specific examples written just ping me/the list. I won't be able to respond straight away, but small examples generally don't too long to put together. Also if queries about particular classes then just ask for a explanation and I'll have a go. Cheers Robert. On 11/10/06, Paul Martz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
For those of you interested in reviewing drafts of the OSG documentation, I've posted a (very) rough draft of the front matter for the OpenSceneGraph Quick Start Guide. You can download it from my Web page: http://www.skew-matrix.com/OSGQSG.html If you review it, please limit your review comments to content only, and gross errors of grammar. Please do not tell me to change the font or the margins, etc., as the current form will likely bear little resemblance to the final form. I use "TBD" throughout as a marker to myself for something I'll need to fix later. But, as you can see, in some places it's also a solicitation for input (for example, suggested reading material). Please help out in those areas if you can.

I've posted my plans to http://www.skew-matrix.com/OSGdocs.html. To summarize, I have three books planned: A Quick Start Guide, which will hopefully be complete by early next year and can be downloaded for free as a PDF or purchased softbound. (If purchased, proceeds will help support the OSG documentation effort by paying for future revisions). A Programming Guide, not for free, hopefully available by late 2007. A Reference Manual, probably derived from Doxygen output, probably available in 2008. I hope to use you, the OSG community, as my technical review team. So, as I complete sections of the documentation, I'll make advance copies available free to anyone who pledges to read it in a timely fashion and provide feedback. Speaking of feedback, please follow the link above and post here with any thoughts on the current plans.
