[Coriander-devel] Suggestions for documentation.

[<pea...@sh...>]

Hello Coriander developers,

I am using Coriander in Debian Squeeze with a Unibrain Fire-i camera.
Here are a few suggestions for the documentation.

http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/cameras/ reports the optics of the 
Fire-i as fixed.  In fact the lens is thread mounted although not removable.  
Focus can be adjusted manually.  The Optics Key doesn't have a notation for 
this configuration.

There should be a definitive way to know whether Coriander is using the 
"old" 1394 drivers or the Juju drivers.  Something in /proc shows this?  
Documention is needed.

http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/coriander/manual/ and 
"man coriander" should tell which device input is taken from.  Also, when 
vloopback is operating, the documentation should tell which device
a secondary application can obtain output from.

Stefan Richter carefully explained most of this in 
<20111116193303.7d625e33@stein> to coriander-user at 
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:33:03 +010.  Incorporation into the Web 
based and traditional manuals would be really helpful for clueless 
novices.

Thanks,                         ... Peter E.
