Re: [orca-list] Volunteers to update the wiki? (was Re: Frustrated Newbie)

[Rob Whyte <fudge thefudge net>]

Hi,
The code is not difficult at all.
You can read through the content and see how things are done very easily.
Don't let not thinking you can do it hold you back.

If you can write a heading from an example:

== what is new in Orca version blah ==
  *  this is
  *  that is
  * stop asking all the time :p

Then you can contribute too.,

The more of us that contribute, the more that benefit.
   
kind regards
Rob Whyte
