Hi people, cleaning up my RT-Linux mail folder I came accross that
message.

So what's about trying to get the RT-Linux manual back into life, and to
make it the authorative manual on the NMT variant ?
Probably _users_ could send improvements to the respective author of a
chapter they found to be short of important information.
Since I guess some of the authors are not around any more, NMT-people
probably need to put in these additions. Or some user takes a section for
maintainance he is interetsed in ?
If anybody would think a few minutes how to put the problem he just
resolved into the manual, we would get a far bit further, I guess.

As I see it programmers should spend their time coding and explain the
principles. Writing a tutorial just takes their time away from their real
job and is usually done by users far better as well, since these are the
people that know the problems.

Of course the same applies to RTAI - I don't know ether there is
anything yet ?

So it would be nice to see some messages containing additions/fixes to
the manual on this list really soon, and also the NMT people should
update the manual regularly.

Is anybody maintaining the web-manual right now ?
