I'm certainly familiar with WikiPedia, where it took me 5 years to get them to accept a change clearly referenced to an industry standard, yet they wanted to (and still do) adhere to a much repeated quotation of WikiPedia which is clearly wrong, and in fact, clearly opposite (180-degrees out of phase with) the standard. The entirely opposite information has become the most commonly presented on the www. Clearly there are better-administered, if not better, ways.
There's been a lot of bandwidth consumed in this SDCC-DOC context, but, while I've seen a bit of information, much of it redundant, about IDE's, which I've found interesting, even useful, but not entirely germane to the documentation issue, and there's been some mention of installing SDCC, there's been precious little discussion of how, exactly to use it, what can be in the source file, what shouldn't, what to expect, in the output files and how to interpret and use them, etc. These are simple, basic, elementary concepts. They're "out there" in the widely dispersed literature, but, for example, details about simply running SDCC under Windows' DOS prompt are not abundant. I'm not saying it's a jealously guarded secret, but it's really not out front where it belongs. Further there's so much discussion of various ways and things-to-install to make Windows look like *nix. Is that necessary, and, if so, why? What's the "right" way to use those features, and why might one be better than another? Why doesn't this stuff work with normal DOS commands? If it does, then why mess with the add-on's? regards, Richard Erlacher ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jan Waclawek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <sdcc-user@lists.sourceforge.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [Sdcc-user] documentation & open source generally > Just trying to be a bit more constructive: if you are familiar with the > concept of wiki (a webpage/site which can be modified by anybody), there > is a wiki dedicated for sdcc directly on sourceforge pages > (http://sdcc.wiki.sourceforge.net/ ), with an attempt for SOME > documentation, done incrementally.
