[Firebird-docs] V.1.5 Release notes

[Helen B. <he...@tp...>]

Hi Tilo and others,

Do you mind if I hijack this list for a couple of weeks, whilst I assemble 
and verify the stuff for the v.1.5 release notes?  I can see it's already 
starting to annoy Dmitry, that I'm posting r/notes things in fb-devel...

I'd also welcome any inputs any of our Docs folk would like to make to the 
r/notes - sample code snippets using the new language features would be 
very acceptable;  any tried-and-true HowTo stuff about fbembed;  et al.

best,
Helen

Well,  i never heard that there was a firebird documentation team. Is it
possible to join that team. I'm a native German, who reads English quite
well. Perhaps i can make some tranlations to german.

At the moment, two people (Tilo Muetze and I) are working on a
documentation set for Firebird (in XML, so it can be easily converted
to other formats like PDF and HTML).

This is taking a LOT of time. If you want to do something, please
contact either one of us - or both.

If you're looking for already existing documentation to translate,
have a look at www.ibphoenix.com (they have both free and $$$ docs).

email:
Tilo Muetze is tmuetze at web dot de
I am paul at vinkenoog dot nl

(replace at -> @, dot -> .)


Greetings,
Paul Vinkenoog


P.S.: Tilo ist Deutscher wie du, mir kannst du auch auf deutsch mailen.

Is this in CVS somewhere? I know that there was in the CVS the beginnings of
something based on interbase documentation, but I thought it was abandoned
due to uncertainty over copyright issues. Is this something different? I'd
love to proof read, and even document stuff if I can help. It's why I am
subscribed to the -docs list.

Thanks,

Robert Munro

We have tried more than one time to get a response from Borland regarding
copyright issues of the Beta docs. After no response after all we decided to
continue converting the docs as a first starter for the Fb docs.
So expect commits real soon. They will include some fully converted IB 6
Beta docs and a updated building process which is now compatible with the
latest JDK. From that point on we can then revise and complete the docs.

Regards,
Tilo
