Gentle persons: A few weeks ago, Brian pointed out that a page on the Wiki (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?InkscapeHowto) was out of date with respect to its description of gcodetools, which is now up to 1.7.
Since Brian has already edited that page, I have taken it on myself to go after another bastion of out-of-date information, the Cam page (http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Cam). So far, I have done the following. 1) slightly reorganized the preface material. 2) combined Simple G-Code Generators, CAM Programs, CAD-file to G-Code Converters, and File Format-Converters into one table. 3) sorted each subsection of this table by entry name. The result is imperfect (some entry names really ought to be changed) but it is surely easier to scan. 4) added a new column ("Latest" version/date of release) to this table and entered the information I have been able to find. 5) further annotated some entries, for example, to reflect the limitations on demo programs. In addition, I noted when the primary link is broken and suggested an alternate site when I could find one. I'm not done (for example, there are entries relating to Dan Heek's products that need updating) but I figure what I've done is good enough to push to the Wiki. Next up, is the "CAD Programs For Linux" table.
