Yes I am aware of that I saw that it was recently made into a html page too, I actually thought that was pretty nifty!
I understand how that goes with regards to losing files, I've learned the hard way that I should back everything up as much as possible.
I did check and look around for what others had done for the documentation before I decided that I would help contribute to that and I did read over your handbook too. I would love to work with you on that as opposed to almost "competing" to the same end goal.
I can honestly say that as far as the rendering and yafray side of wings goes, I know relatively little anyway so perhaps me assisting to flesh out the current handbook might be more beneficial anyway.
-----
Beyond the handbook, I was planning on writing up a small set of tutorials that I would directly translate into videos shortly after too, I didn't think it would be good to include those directly in the book I was going to work up either, I think linking to those in a "further reading" or "resources" section would suffice.
-----
I don't know how we might go about working on that together right off the top of my head but I am sure we can figure something out. As I've said in my previous post, I have probably close to two hours a day that I can use to contribute to this for the time being. Maybe a little more here and there but ultimately that will be my availability outside of work and everything.
Hopefully once we get this sorted out and ready it might make using Wings3D a lot easier for newcomers and general people interested in using the software!
Thank you for the reply, I had no idea you were still working on the handbook as I saw the date it was posted was quite a while ago, I was curious of the update date on the html page though, which is why I posted here in the first place.
Regards,
Patrick.
