Manual + xdocs etc
Hi all,
Since the debate over deriving the Ant docs from the source has died
down a little recently, I thought I'd just poke everyone again <poke>,
and see who's still interested.
The other thing I'd like to propose is a much needed update to the
layout and visual appearance of the manual - it looks a little flat for
2005, although at least it's comprehensive. I'd like to help out with
it, but being about as artistic as a bag 'o' vomit, I'd probably only
get in the way.
Any artistic types with mad l33t web skills interested in polishing the
manual?
Kev

Hi Antoine,
You probably want to take me off your e-mail list. I believe the previous Richard Evans was in the UK. However, I am in the US and likely in a different organization all together.
Cheers, - Richard

Hello Kev,
I am interested, but I need to get myself a new laptop to start really
working on ant again. My hard disk is nearly dead :(, so I did not use my
laptop since shortly after the Ant 1.6.5 release.
I have no ideas about graphics and stylesheets, but I have some about the
process of bringing the docs in order.
I think we should reorder the existing docs along the structure which I
think Erik Hatcher had conceived and which is incarned by the @ant.category
tags in the source code (scm, packaging, ...).
I am still interested by the idea of deriving the docs from the source code.
Knowing that there would be about 50% to 60% of the doc (and some of the
most interesting parts) which will remain outside of the source code.
For instance the examples about each task, and transversal subjects like
"developing with Ant" or "installing Ant"
Cheers,
Antoine
