[Pythoncard-users] updating the documentation

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I decided it was time to work on documentation again, so to get started I'm
just collecting information already on the mail list or other sources and
sticking it into text files. I plan to update the files where they are
out-of-date and then convert everything into HTML later on. Right now, I'm
concentrating on just hunting and gathering. I'm sticking the files into:
  http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/text/

The main documentation page is:
  http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/toc.html

The Getting Started page
http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/getting_started.html is awful, so that
needs to be redone. Erik Marcus suggested that what we really need is a
guide that walks a new user through there first fifteen minutes and then
their first two hours with PythonCard.

I would appreciate suggestions on past emails or portions of email to
include in the documentation. Please provide the URL to past emails via the
ASPN archive (you can browse and search there). For example, addmethod.txt
file corresponds to this post in the archive:
  http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/770015

I want to add a FAQ, mission statement (or what is PythonCard?), and update
the home page and screen shot pages. It looks like we also need a page
covering the resourceEditor with screen shots.

Please provide questions, suggestions and corrections. Anyone that writes
some documentation gets bonus points! :)

Thanks,
