- Unless somebody mails me in the next couple of days a complete set of
- documentation, it won't be ready for Christmas, and probably not for
- at least a couple of months (say, until _next_ Christmas or so :).
- There's an awful lot of to be written.
-
- This is not to say that we won't have anything done. I assume many
- people will do a lot of writing during the holidays, but it just isn't
- possible to write a book in a couple of weeks and write it well.
-
- I intend to release "alpha" versions of the documentation when there
- is something that is worth showing people. When, I don't know.
- Hopefully in January. This should have at least extended outlines of
- everything done so far, and hopefully a set of manual pages and such
- stuff. Don't rush me about it.

- Not that I know of. I'll announce it properly when something comes
- out of the doc project.
