Jocelyn, Thank you very much for starting on this project. I don't really have any specific recommendations for you. I've looked at your page (from home--the firewall at work blocked it) and it looks quite good. In general, it would be nice if the "freeglut" documentation stood on its own without the reader needing to have a copy of the GLUT documentation in his other hand. Unfortunately that's a little complicated; Mark Kilgard copyrighted the GLUT documentation, so we are not able to copy it over and modify it. - John -----Original Message----- From: =?UTF-8?B?Sm9jZWx5biBGcsOpY2hvdA==?= Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 12:53 PM To: FreeGLUT developers list Subject: [Freeglut-developer] freeglut 2.6.0 API documentation << File: ATT00031.txt; charset = utf-8 >> |

Kilgard would accept to make an exception for the freeglut project? I have added a version of the documentation with the non-implemented function descriptions removed. -- Jocelyn Fréchot |

The terms and condition of its source distribution are vague and a bit dangerous from an OpenSource perspective. The documentation doesn't have any information about it's distribution so we have to assume standard copyright terms apply...which means that we can't modify and redistribute it. I would certainly not want to take his original documentation and modify it for external redistribution. We need to either start again - or write our stuff as an addendum to the original GLUT document and distribute them as a separate pair of documents. |

I would myself opt for the second choice: as long as the original GLUT documentation is available, there is no absolute necessity to rewrite it. It would be better to have a single document, but it would just take me too much time, and I am not so comfortable with writing English. Of course, if someone has time to help, let's rewrite it. -- Jocelyn Fréchot |

New documentation location: http://jocelyn.frechot.free.fr/freeglut/ I think I have nothing to add to the documentation, unless of course someone has some more ideas or wishes. -- Jocelyn Fréchot |
