We are just guests there, guests to the GNU project and their website (which is mostly run by volunteers in their spare-time). Let's see what might come out of the idea of Atmel hosting a Wiki along with avrfreaks.net. If that's really going to happen, it will surely benefit from the good reputation avrfreaks already has right now. >> The AVR GCC page, for example, calls avr-gcc "gcc-avr", which will >> mess up searches. > I thought that 'gcc-avr' was the correct terminology.

You could also call it a GCC compiled for the AVR target (that's what it technically is). I guess the Ubuntu names just follow whatever naming policy Ubuntu implies for their 3rd-party software packages. >> What exactly is "doco"? > It's an accepted colloquial shortening of the word 'documentation'. Don't be too lazy when writing anything that's going to be "official". There's no point in fuzzy abbreviations there. If you're too lazy to type, writing articles for the public is simply not your job. Some documentation guides even go that far to ban all apostrophized omissions, even though they are semi-common English. I know it that way e. g. from the FreeBSD documentation. So you are never supposed to write "it's" there, but always "it is". This also avoids the common misspelling of "its" as "it's" which interestingly native speakers are more often a victim of than foreigners. Apart from that, I think "docu" would come closer because it at least shares all four letters with the actual word it stands for. The plural is "docs" then. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
