I just tend to be concentrating on the technology itself, so docs invariably fall a bit behind for me, until I get to the point where I start looking at what (for me) ends up being the secondary things. Anyway, what I'd really appreciate is a whole "Documentation" subdirectory, and preferably in some standard format. Maybe real old-fashioned man-pages, but hey, especially with something like this, just html would be good too. (And no, by "standard format" I do _not_ mean xml or stuff like that. I mean something that is actually easy to read ;) Linus
