Developer docs:
- - style of project sources;
- - descriptions of internal functions (library related, may be via doxygen)
- - UML-like schemas... or in plain text :)
- - other doc-stuff related to developers

Contributor... gm... may be I'm mistaken with word... 'maintainer' more
like.
- - How make packages in rpm, deb, tgz(Slackware) and other
package-oriented distros
- - How compile on *BSD/MaCOS, Cygwin/MinGW
- - How compile on embedded systems
- - ... other maintainer-related stuff

This already applyed in Fedora-10 patch. Later I will publish this patch
in trac.

ACK.

For embedded systems with less of memory, IMHO...

... P.S. May be, in future mc will work on my iPhone... ;)
