2manuals.

4General Issues
5==============
6May need a Documentation Roadmap - for now, the "Where to
7go from here" chapter in Getting Started is it.
8
9Need a description of hello world and writing an application.
10
11More automatic handling of version, date, revision, release, etc.
12
13Eliminate use of gifs. [NOTE: ps, pdf, and dvi.gif are from
14http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/images and the various arrow and
15bookshelf icons came with texi2www.]
16
17Redraw pictures as appropriate in open source tools.
18

20Getting Started (C and Ada versions)
21====================================
22Switch back to using @url{} when pdf generation error is fixed.
23
24Classic Users Guide
25===================
26May need to enhance descriptions in Primitive Data Types Chapter
27
28POSIX User Notes
29================
30
31Add pages for network services.
32
33Add timer() services if we have any.

36Development Environment Guide
37=============================
38Either rename to "A Tour of the RTEMS Source Tree" or include
39more information on the GNU tools. 
40
41The "C Suites" section is oddly named and the directory
42tree included is wrong in that make is no longer under
43the c directory.  I think the build-tools make have
44moved as well.
45
46All the paths should be provided as relative paths
47from the top of the RTEMS source tree.  It wastes
48valuable screen space to do otherwise.
49
50The last paragraph of "C Suites" is vague and could
51be written better.  It should include the subdirectory
52names as part of the textual description.
53
54Should this documentation even use the phrase "C Implementation"
55any longer?
56
57Directory names should be in @code -- not "quoted".
58
59In "Support Library Source Directory", look for "which installed"
60
61In the latter part of the "libbsp" paragraph in "Support
62Library Source Directory", there is reference to the
63stubdr directory which is no longer there.
64
65Update this section to include discussion of the shared
66subdirectory and its relationship to the BSPs.  Write this
67in such a way that it can be passed on to Geoffroy Montel.
68
69In the section, "Test Suite Source Directory", there is a
70numeric count of the number of tests in each suite.  This
71should be eliminated for maintenance purposes.
72
73The psxtest directory is not mentioned.  Check that no others
74have been forgotten.
75
76There should probably be no reference to the Ada sample
77applications.  This document used to cover both implementations.
78This now seems inappropriate.
79
80The hello world sample test discussion mentions that it provides
81a rudiementary test of the BSP startup code and the "RTEMS
82C Library".  This should be rewritten to tell mroe about what
83this test shows (actually a lot).  It should mention that this
84test tries to avoid using interrupts.
85
86The ticker test should mention that in contrast to hello, it
87does use interrupts. :)  It can be used to tune the clock
88tick.
89
90The ticker test documentation says it calls "tm_get" -- jeez
91how old is this manual.
