Some core subsystems are documented; cf src/code/README.txt, src/gc.c etc.
There is actually some quite useful documentation of C-functions and macros available in Pike 0.5. Needless to say it is nothing near complete or up to date.

I have asked for a commit log sent by mail one year ago to help external developpers to see what are the changes... But nothing as usual...
Commit logs are available via http from both pike.ida.liu.se and community.roxen.com. Unfortunately nobody has implemented smtp support into either system.
The main problem is killing API will kill pike because :
- too little (or maybe near no) docs for core developpers
Some core subsystems are documented; cf src/code/README.txt, src/gc.c etc.
- some things are very hard to be done... :
- cmod : is there any BNF / docs clearly explained on how to make them ?
http://pike.ida.liu.se/projects/docs/cmods/cmod-thesis.pdf http://pike.ida.liu.se/projects/docs/cmods/cmod-tutorial.pdf
- pike C modules : they are bloody hard to make, but changing the low level api will tell developpers : "ok the thing is not mature, I will go somewhere else where it is mature".
Hard? What do you find hard?
