In contrast, someone who has been using wxPerl longer just needs a
quick-and-easy API reference (or even a cookbook?).
This is a very good point :-) It seems there's a bigger market here for
something closer to the first option than the second.

Personally, the highest ranking item on my Wx wishlist is that someone
(or ideally several someones) went through the pain of learning C++,
wxWidgets, XS (aka C + perlapi + the actual XS bits), and the Wx.pm
code enough to help Mattia maintain the beast. We have a pretty bad
bus factor and I don't think it's fair that we're putting as much
pressure on a fellow volunteer by simply depending on his work this much.
That being said, I have been reading the Wx XS code here and there to
the best of my limited abilities. Progress is slow and distraction is
cheap. :(
Yes, that would be good. I can kind of read that stuff but as I
mentioned before it's pretty advanced XS. As for documenting it it's
hard to know where to begin / what would be useful for people. Heck, I
don't even understand what I need to understand about it, if ye get what
I mean <: p
Do you think you could post up any insights you've gained so far on the
wxPerl wiki? ( http://wxperl.pvoice.org/w/index.php )
