I won't promise anything here, but I will give it a try and keep you informed :)
Current status: not yet started ;-) - maybe will start over this weekend.

Ok, so I will keep my hands off from that one.

... except cleaning up the #include's everywhere, but that's a piece of cake then :)

I did the update this evening and committed it to gnue cvs. As soon as
some proofreading has been done, I will send it to you per email - or if
you like you can check it out yourself.

Actually I don't like the thought of merging it with the existing documentation,
because it adresses an other audience. The existing documentations describes
libgda from a user's view (user = a programmer that writes a program that
calls libgda functions), and the QHG describes it from a hacker's view
(hacker = somebody that wants to understand and/or change the code of
libgda itself).
But certainly it's up to you to decide.

Thanks,
