Re: UI Freeze and docs updated

[Chris Lyttle <chris wilddev net>]

Pat,
Thanks for your emails. I do realise that Sun has been working hard on a 
lot of documentation. I didn't know, however, that you were not aware of 
the temporary doctable at the following url we have been using;

http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/doctable--.html

This is what I was referring to in my email. I have been trying to get it 
updated as much as possible in John Fleck's absence with the status of the 
various GNOME2 documentation and to verify that the documentation does in 
fact show up in Yelp the way a normal user would expect. We still have 
some ways to go to get this in place which is the reason for my email 
below. You can check out the doctable--.html document to update (its 
fairly simple html) from gnome cvs [1] if you like or if, like sander did 
the other day, you want to just send me an email and let me know what docs 
you have recently finished and added to the GNOME cvs I will update it for 
you.
I am spending my time right now trying to make sure what documents we have 
work and show up in Yelp. If anyone doesn't want me to just go into their 
docs and fix the OMF build stuff so that the docs show up in yelp please 
let me know (scream if you want) and I'll leave that module alone. Also if 
there are GNOME2 docs you have that aren't listed on the doctable and you 
feel they should be I'd also like to know this.
