Re: [Vxl-maintainers] Trac as Hosted Apps in SourceForge

[Matthew L. <mat...@gm...>]

I agree that something needs to change with state of VXL  
documentation.  I'm in favor of a wiki for an FAQ, install  
instructions, and maybe the Book (or something like it).  I would be  
fine with the keeping the texinfo book if it worked, but it is  
broken.  The book on the website has not been built for 14 months.  As  
a texinfo novice I can't even figure out how to build a local copy.   
There are no build instructions for the book that I can see, and the  
make file doesn't seem to work.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

I think a bug tracker and other development tools also sound like a  
good idea if someone is willing to set them up and maintain them.   
Unfortunately, I'm currently overloaded with vpdl and vidl2 and trying  
to finish a thesis.  I have no more time to volunteer.

In the short term, I'll continue to write texinfo chapters for vpdl  
and vidl2, even though I can't see the compiled results.
