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

[Peter S. <ps...@cs...>]

Drew,

Thank you very much for taking the time to document that.
Documentation always lags development, and having a newcomer document
difficulties at getting up to speed is always a valuble resource.

I hope the league can incorporate all of your suggestions quickly and
accurately.

Cheers,
	Peter
