Hi Paul,
Had a moment last night to do a quick read of Chap 1. Here is a quick
comment, more details to follow
Felt the info flow was a little choppy and hard to follow; might
suggest the following arrangement to answer a reader's questions ---
what is it? what do I need to use? how do I get it? how do I install it?
how does it work? how do I run it?
Suggested structure:
History of OSG
Hardware reqts
Sources of info
Distributions
Installation Guide(s)
Getting help
SceneGraphs and how they work
Overview of OSG
General structure/data
Features
Utilities
Running OSG
Hope this helps
Regards
John W.

Hi folks -- I've recently posted chapter 1 of the OSG Quick Start
Guide. Please read and review:
http://www.skew-matrix.com/OSGQSG.html
Send your review comments to me either as DOC/ODT with track changes
enabled, or PDF with comments attached as notes.
Yes, I'm aware I've slipped off my original schedule, but still hope
to have the book finished by Q1 2007.
Thanks for all feedback,

Hi all --
Over the past few weeks I've been focusing my efforts on
developing concepts for a set of developer-oriented OpenSceneGraph
books. 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.
Thanks,
Paul Martz
