Still, the Wiki could (and probably will some day) be a very nice companion to the official documentation. I can only repeat it, for those who can read German, I think it might eventually evolve the same way as the Wiki on http://www.mikrocontroller.net/ . This is somewhat like *the* German web forum for microcontrollers (not only AVR), and there used to be an AVR Tutorial initially written by the operator of that site, which then became the initial input of the Wiki-based AVR tutorial it is now. I see similar prospects for the avrfreaks.net Wiki (and I'm glad the rumours about their Wiki finally materialized): while it must not try to replace official project documentation, it can go beyond that documentation in providing something like an "Idiot's guide to your first AVR project". The avr-libc doc examples aim to get first-time AVR users started with the AVR, but they concentrate on the technical details, so their prerequisite level is not zero, i.e. you should already basically know a bit about controllers, about how to solder the stuff together etc. The Wiki can then accompany that by explaining all these basics as well (and this is usually best written by someone who has just been passing that part of their lurning curve). As for official documentation, it should be fairly easy in the Wiki to simply link to it. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
