Re: [Plplot-devel] Wish list for the release--various thoughts.

Hi,

I think that the main directory README, INSTALL, CHANGES and NEWS files=20
should be updated, as they are the first think that I read on (and I assu=
me=20
others also do it :).
The ToDo and PROBLEMS file also needs an update, as some users can have t=
he=20
expertise and mood to do/solve it. WE *should* use it, also!

The examples/java/README file should be in bindings/java, or its name cha=
nged=20
to README.java, to follow what is done in the other examples directory.
I thinks that each bindings and examples subdirs should have a README fil=
e,=20
and the main README file should point to them.

What is the purpose of the "new" directory and its "bogus" file? And the=20
bindings/python/1.4b3 subdir?

When will be 5.1 released? What do we intend to have on it? Can we add mo=
re=20
and more stuff to HEAD and always have an unstable CVS?

I would like to add some things to the documentation, after english-proof=
ing=20
by an English native speaker, but I found the DocBook too complex! I was=20
still not able to create the development environment (and I tried, and I=20
tried, and I tried , but I couldn't get it :-)). Is there a xml2sgml util=
ity?=20
( My system has a sgml2xml utility). Than I could convert to latex and ad=
d=20
the docs.

Oh well, questions, questions,

Joao
