When looking up classes such as gda.client I get this: Mono Implementation Note: An error occured while loading type information: File 'gda-sharp' not found. Whats that about. Is it possible to contrib text to classes that show this? And who exactly are allowed to contrib text? Is any filling in the blanks in gda.*? (btw. i have monodoc 0.11 from rh9 rpms).

Monodoc loads up assemblies to check that the documentation in monodoc actually corresponds to what's in the assembly. It's saying it can't find that assembly. > Is it possible to contrib text to classes that > show this? Yes. > And who exactly are allowed to contrib text? Is any > filling in the blanks in gda.*? As far as I know, you're welcome to contribute anything. -- - Joshua Tauberer http://taubz.for.net ** Nothing Unreal Exists ** From aaron@ximian.com Mon Apr 5 23:25:03 2004 From: aaron@ximian.com (Aaron Weber) Date: Mon, 05 Apr 2004 18:25:03 -0400 Subject: [Mono-docs-list] Proposed changes to monkeyguide Chapters 1 and 2 Message-ID: <1081203875.4636.6.camel@verbal.local> --=-SnqGGil6fiLwyGBxz3hB Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="=-XAG5djdDtrEwLBsmsxXs" --=-XAG5djdDtrEwLBsmsxXs Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello. I'm working on the following changes for Chapters 1 and 2: * Revise Preface Chapter 1: * Revise sections 1.1 and 1.2, "What is Mono" and "What is .NET"? * Delete Section 1.3, "History" * Replace with Section 1.3, "Why Mono?" Chapter 2: haven't gotten there yet. Need to replace "Mono Implementation" with "Modules." Goal for all revisions is to be focused on Mono only-- C# and .NET in general have better docs elsewhere, as discussed in one of the appendices. Also, Appendix C (Presentations) should be merged into Appendix D, Additional Resources. Anyone object? The attached diff is a pretty good idea of what sorts of changes i'm contemplating, content-wise... I'll get EDasque or someone to read it over for accuracy before I commit, of course.

Hello. I'm working on the following changes for Chapters 1 and 2:The Mono Handbook is a collection of guides and tutorials that -should help you getting started with Mono. It covers the Mono -runtime, the C# language, and tools like the debugger, certain parts of -the class libraries, the Database layer ADO.NET, and the Website -Framework ASP.NET, as well as Gtk#. It is not meant as the complete -documentation of Mono.

Beginners should probably read this guide in its entirety, but experts -will probably only need to read about the information they don't know already.
