-: Large parts of the FAQ should actually be converted into the Knowledge
-: Base sections. Feel free...
Could you elaborate? For example, what are some sections of the FAQ
that you feel should be transferred to the KB?
More generally, I have wondered for several years about the goals of the
`djgpp documentation project', and also about the aborted `djgpp book
project' I see mentioned in the mail archives.
The current djgpp documentation is substantial, but IMHO it needs some
`organization'. We have a fabulous FAQ, a Knowledge Base, a User's Guide,
various HowTo's and ReadMe's, tutorials, and so on. We have a massive
mail archive that contains lots of useful information. By and large,
it's all there, but fragmented and scattered. Is there a long-term goal
(or wish) for integrating all this documentation?
What is a `Knowledge Base', and how should it differ from a `User's Guide'
or from a hypothetical `DJGPP book'? What are the reasons for having
both the KB and the UG? Would it be preferable to pull most everything
together into a sort of "Hitchhiker's Guide to DJGPP"?
These are not criticisms, but questions about the Right/Best Thing To Do
with respect to djgpp documentation. If someone were to donate effort to
`djgpp documentation project', how would that effort best be spent?
