[Jsdoc-user] [JSDoc 2 is now in the Initial Planning Phase -- Have at it!]

[Gabriel R. <gab...@gm...>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm just passing on this announcement from Michael Mathews about a second 
incarnation of JSDoc that is currently in the planning phase. We're hoping 
to address the many shortcomings of the current version of JSDoc, but we 
first need to get feedback from everyone who is using the tool.

If you have any JavaScript documenting wants or needs that JSDoc isn't
currently addressing, now is your chance to let yourself be heard!

The discussion can be found at <http://groups.google.com/group/jsdoc-2>.

Looking forward to hearing from you!


Regards,

    Gabriel Reid

ANNOUNCEMENT: For quite a long time now Gabriel Reid has been laboring
valiently to keep up with the evolving needs and requests of the JSDoc
users, burdened by a general design which simply wasn't flexible enough
to easily handle the new world of JavaScript we now find ourselves in.

I take full responsibility for getting Gabriel into this situation and
want to make what ammends I can by helping to design a new, more
powerful, flexible and extensable version for the future. JSDoc 2.0
will be a ground-up rebuild with the paramount intention of handling
more variations in code and style than was possible in JSDoc 1.

So, while the clay is still wet and gooey, you are highly encouraged to
stick a finger into the shape of what JSDoc 2 will be. What have you
always wanted but couldn't have in your JS documentation? Any and all
suggestions will be considered and, if the case is good, will be
implemented.
