http://sequel.rubyforge.org/documentation.html pretty much does this. I'm certainly willing to consider design changes to make it more user friendly, though I'm not sure what they'd be. > * More documentation: entry-level and advanced, from intro to > comprehensive Introductory documentation is Sequel's weakest area, IMO. The RDoc documentation is fairly comprehensive, but admittedly terse in a lot of areas. Unfortunately, people are not specific when they ask for introductory documentation, and not being a beginner, I'm not sure what the basic stumbling blocks for new users are. If you could give a rough outline of the documentation you'd like to see, I could probably work on it. > * An updated/more attractive logo (these things do influence > perception) Not being a graphic designer myself, this isn't something I'm qualified to do.
