What do you most need help with that I or others could do?
I need a volunteer to head up a separate project to review, audit, and update the documentation found in docs/*.txt and include/(std/)*.e, as well as the wiki.
I'd recommend whoever does this use a project board to keep things organized. I can create a new project for this if someone volunteers to move forward.
Additional volunteers could then pick up individual tasks on the project to review, update, and sign off on each one until we've gone through everything.

Go ahead and create the docs project board.
Is there going to be a oE4.1.1 release? (Kind of a practice run?)
Installation could give you these options:
- doc/tutorial only; for mildly curious
- language only; to get going with minimal effort
- fully charged: language, WEE, euGTK, compiler?
The docs have these components:
| language | fully charged | gui | learning |
| traditional value:action:flow technical |
built-ins std/lib add-on libraries contributed |
euGTK others ? |
tutorial examples |
help is needed for any item mentioned
traditional described in same language/examples as in conventional languages
simplified using value:action:flow metaphor
technical bnf notation, comp sci viewpoint
built-in any feature that does not require external files.
std/lib include files that already exist
add-on libraries that require user to have .dll/.so files installed
contributed like wrappers for game libraries; of general interest; but not supported by the language developers
euGTK the most universal gui for oE right now
IUP has dropped 32 bit; messy libraries that change with each Linux kernal
tk works everywhere; oE and Phix
tutorial more examples; more tutorials
Phix show similarities and differences
wiki needs
must allow greater file size for each link than provided right now; 100 lines is not enough capacity
wanted... alternative to CHM documentation format
