Re: [simspark-devel] [Sserver-three-d] Documentation and wikis

Hi Joschka,

I'll get started in the next day or so.  No doubt I'll have many questions, so I'll add them to the wiki itself and ask people more knowledgeable than me to fill in the blanks.

I saw somewhere a task along the lines of "update TeX files with TEXT_INSTEAD_OF_A_MANUAL".  Does this text file represent the most up-to-date information?  I will be sure to draw from all sources I can find, but if there are conflicts I'd like to know which source is more authoritative.

Also, does anyone have any documentation about the monitor protocol?  If not then I will reverse it from TrainerCommandParser.  I was going to ask the list whether it would be possible to add the ability to position the ball exactly for machine learning purposes, only to find mention of this interface in a changelog somewhere. It'd be great to have it detailed on the wiki.

Drew.

Hi Drew,

I think having the manual in the Wiki would be great! We could still have a nice PDF version every once in a while, but focus on the Wiki which should be easier to keep up to date.

Would you be willing to go ahead and start this? I'm sure people will help once the first pages are there, but it's always good if someone takes the lead.

Cheers,
Joschka
