I now have some funding secured to work on TigerVNC, and improved
documentation is on my list of things to do, although not at the top of
the priority list. I'd like to at least spruce up the man pages before
1.1 releases.

Hi,
This is an issue I raised a while back and I keep coming across people
who do not see TigerVNC as a viable alternative because of the lack of
documentation. Just recently in this thread on xorg:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2011-May/053094.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2011-May/053095.html
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2011-May/053098.html
The information exists out there, it's just not very accessible to
newcomers and packagers.
A simple basic wiki would probably do the job.
IMO, here are some of the things that should be documented:
* information on vnc.so usage (config, options)
* build process. (the debian packages that I provide were built the
wrong way - the only way I knew about then, not using the host's
headers but using the build-xorg script)
* MS Windows build
* authentication mechanisms
* tls libraries
etc
It doesn't have to be pretty or maintained in sync with every commit,
but anything has got to be better than the void that is there now as
this is clearly putting off some users.
I do not have access to the servers hosting the tigervnc.org website, so
there's not much I can do to help. (I considered setting up a repository
copy just to be able to setup a trac instance against it, but decided it
was just too much effort)
Cheers
Antoine
