Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] RE: Finished Unofficial Gnuradio User Manual

[Robert McGwier]

Firas:

We need a tracking mechanism and way to submit corrections, additions,
upgrades as a community and to track "who did what to whom".  You have
done a fantastic job of starting this but we need to already plan while
the "Arnold Dumey microsecond" has not passed for AF (After Firas) and
wouldn't it be better to do it WF (with Firas).  Having done this kind
of thing on other projects, I started off well and when I began to tire
of the drudgery and repetitive parts of this, the effort inevitably
faltered.  I feel this is too important to fail to prevent the
consequences of the inevitable "moving on" to other newer and more
interesting things than doing a manual. It is clear that you are smart,
intelligent, well informed, and capable of moving on. To me that makes
in inevitable.  Why aren't we doing this (officially) as part of our
wiki? Are the wiki controls/tools too lightweight for this level of
effort? If the answer is "no they are adequate" or "they can easily be
made adequate", then the gnuradio wiki is the obvious (and IMHO) correct
place for this.

Again, please accept my sincerest gratitude for doing what should have
been done ages ago and wasn't.
