Uko, thanks for mentioning this, I wasn't aware of it, and will try and contribute a bit to build the knowledge base (I don't believe email or chat (slack, discord, etc.) even with a searchable history, can replace a wiki for documentation). There's been quite a bit of discussion in the past about in-image documentation vs external documentation (e.g. wikis, books, etc.). While I like the idea of having the documentation in image, the delays and cost of getting documentation in to the core image currently makes it largely impractical to have the same level of contribution as a wiki. Recently I've seen in a couple of places people mentioning that github and/or gitlab allow simple editing of files in the web interface and directly generating pull requests. Given that the class comment is stored in a separate file, could this help facilitate the development of in-image documentation? If there's no one that knows more about this than me, and there is some interest, I'm happy to investigate a bit further. Cheers, Alistair
