The manual is badly outdated. I am in the process of a major<br>revision. Maybe we can start a page on the wiki of things to revise<br>in the manual for the next release. If anyone wants to help I would<br>greatly appreciate it.

<br></div><br>I'd be happy to write a few paragraphs as well on areas I'm comfortable with.<br><br><br>Oh, and could somebody please go into what the word &quot;new&quot; means in ChucK, exactly? It's currently mentioned in the manual exactly once (in that sense). It creates a new instance of a object and it's somehow syntactically similar to &quot;!&quot; and that's about it as far as the manual is concerned. This made the public static classes thing quite hard to understand for me untill Spencer demonstrated a while ago you can get around it (and now I understand that assignment trick).
<br><br><br>So, great plan, I'd be happy to contribute to this wiki page but we'll still need the list because I predict that the people who discover something is missing from the manual are probably not the people who can write the manual entry....
