Hello Sergiu,
I am now making some series of screen shots, how is
the guide gonna look(just a sample, the actual guide shall be a good
one after many reviews). However, i am glad that you guys are
considering to think about practical guide like thing is useful. I
would like to know whether this project can be a part of Sympys Gsoc
2012. Please, let me know the feedback. Inform whatever is needed from
my side. Take a look at the screen shots which i will provide in a
while.
Regards,
Abhiram
