New AOS Reference docs?!
« on: June 28, 2003, 03:55:16 PM »
How many people would be interested in developing new reference documentation on AmigaOS?

RKRM is ok as a reference but its a little dry and lacks any decent example code. Example code helps a lot when understanding APIs.

If you like I might start with Intuition, Graphics, Gadtools and Reaction.

If someone is already on it then there isn`t much point me doing it? There are no books or PDFs available anymore on Amiga stuff.

What subject areas are people interested it?
Workbench/AmigaOS, Programming, Harware, Software?

Having it in PDF format may make more economic sense as its a widely used format and people can print it if they wanted.

Thanks for comments guys.

BTW, What format would you prefer?
Amigaguide, HTML or PDF. The last 2 are my preferences.
