I've stated to document some of pygtk.
This mail has two purposes
1.- Make sure anyone isn't making this job
2.- Get some feed back.

If any one is doing this job please tell me, I have spent some hours
learning docbook and doing some boring editing. I don't want to waist my   
time doing useless things.
I have started two projects witch have failed(for unexpected technical 
reasons):
http://laguna.fmedic.unam.mx/~daniel/glogo/
http://laguna.fmedic.unam.mx/~daniel/gvoice/

I don't want to make another sequel to my flops...

Brief summary of how I plan to do documentation.
This are the chapters I'm writing :
<chapter id="Gnome documentation overview">
</chapter>
<chapter id="pygnome architecture">
</chapter>
<chapter id="pygnome examples">
</chapter>
<chapter id="pygnome conventions">
</chapter>
<chapter id="Cool pygnome examples">
</chapter>

I think I will base heavily the documentation in George Lebl tutorial 
Application Programming Using the GNOME Libraries.
I think it will be required to understand the documentation:
It's a  good and quick intro to GNOME.
                 -----
Priorities:
==========

I plan to do the easy things first like:

1.- Format nicely the examples and put them in a sgml->html document with 
        screen-shoots so it can be a sort of quick reference.
        I will save the usual steps of:
        cd /usr/doc/pygtk-0.6.3/ or /usr/doc/pygnome-1.0.50/
        python <What ever example you want to run>
        and emacs C-x-s <the widget I'm triying to make work> 
        And give some taste of pygnome to new or prospective user.

2.- Make a more nice and slow explanation of the README files of James.
        Sorry I'm not that much of a hacker I have read them several
        times and there still things I don't understand completely...

3.- I think we should put some source tree convention like the
gnome-ones...
        There are a lot of things in the source-tree in the GGAD that 
        aren't necessary in pygnome.

4.- Put some nice hacks to show why it's soooooooooooo nice to make GUI's
        in python.

5.- Put some other interesting things like glade stuff....

Hope to hear from you soon.
