Online manual

[Kitty Hello]

OK, I made some sort of online help now. I will pick a few people who then can actively edit this help together with me to extend it or fix typos.

I'm not keen on anyone writing new topics each hour, because I will have to translate whatever you do to German. And writing the manual it _not_ my hobby.

I'm also uncertain how the script will behave once it gets used a lot. If it's slow, I consider removing it from the public.

The main advantage is, that we can work together on one code base and maybe I can use it to create an HTML help for the editor updates. That would mean I can drop the chm help. Not sure if that's a good idea, though.

If anyone can see the "Remove / Add" buttons - tell me but _don't_ trigger them. I wanted to make these available to special forum group members, only but I had no time to test against a normal user account.

Why there´s no link on the glbasic web?
Or I´m missing the link?

[MrTAToad]

Gernot is doing an online one, but its not finished yet.

[kaotiklabs]

Ok. Ok. Thought it was allready published. Take your time mate.

Very, very useful

Does any one have the ability to update this yet?

Also, is it going to be linked to the front page at some point? *hint hint*

[Kitty Hello]

It's a bit slow to use and heavy on the CPU load of the server, but yes you can edit it. Do you want editing permissions?

[FutureCow]

Sure, I'd like to be able to edit it if that's okay.

Just a thought :-
What about an area of the forum for manual updates. Inside that area, put a thread for every command and make that forum so no that new threads can be added (but you can reply to existing ones).  People can then reply to add to whatever command they like. Occasionally (once every 6 months? or whenever one of the moderators feels like it) the amendments can be rolled into the current manual. That way, at least if the changes hardly ever get rolled in, people can easily search the thread to see if someone's addressed the problem.
