I was thinking about this a while back when I was writing the tutorial, I have a short contents list that I'll post here as soon as I get home this evening. I really do intend to get back to updating the tutorial/docs any day now, so I'll help out with anything else where I can. Also, anything that I've written already I'm happy to see copied, as long as it stays open of course. -- Phil Housley _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
