I would, except that list appears to be a ghost town. I'll check with them as soon as my subscription clears, though.


Unless the ECMA docs have been released under an open-source-ish
license, they're copyrighted and can't be 'imported' without permission
from the copyright holder.  I don't know if they're licensed at all.

The other way to update docs is for people to write them. :)

There's a fundamental problem here: Any documentation you could write for the base classes must necessarily be a derivative work of the original ECMA documentation. I think trying to avoid copyright infringement here will be difficult at best.

I've written to the ECMA to ask what the rules are on licensing the contents of their standards. It might be better, though, if either a Novell employee or a Swiss native would give them a call.
