- A pike book
I've decided to start work on Pike book. My target is somewhere between the tutorial and the source code or modref. That is, a relatively complete reference to the most important parts of the language such as constructs and important features, but not a function reference (important functions such as Stdio and the like will be covered). My plan is to assume basic programming knowledge that isn't necessarily assumed in the current tutorial online. I've gotten a good bit of feedback regarding what's missing, from programming savvy individuals that have tried to pick up pike.
I'm more than willing to translate it into English for you too :)
More seriously, we should divvy up bits of it and assign them to people who specialise in it. Also, we need to look at a few things from a technical endpoint - document format? I would suggest LaTeX, but some people have personal issues with that. Also, stick it in CVS/subversion somewhere so that we can have the translation teams (hi vida!) working on it at the same time.
Cool?
