Hi,I added a bit a last time and would be willing to do so again.my user name is witt0191It would be good to have a list of un documented stuff as crazy as that sounds!Scott_______________________________________________On Sun, 7 Apr 2019 at 15:52, mario buoninfante <mario.buoninfante@gmail.com> wrote:_______________________________________________Hi Scott,
That's my second round of updating the FLOSS manual. At the moment I've been adding some missing info (class methods mainly) and also some basic synthesis tutorials that can be useful to get familiar with ChucK.
But now I think a more structured approach is required. I think it's time to do some proper formatting, to better present the info already in there (ie the way class methods are listed varies from chapter to chapter, an updated 'Installation' section is needed - there are still pictures of Win XP!, and so on).
If you want, I would suggest you to join me on flossmanuals.net, so that you can get the rights to edit the book.
Once you've got access, let's have a chat here on the mailing list, so that everybody is up to date, and get organized about what to do next.
Let me know if you have any question.
Cheers,
Mario

Mario,
I agree. Case and point: where is info about HID on the princeton site? Not there! (except examples). I think it might be in the PDF, but not the web doc - at least not anywhere I’ve been able to find.
I’m teaching a class with chuck next year, so this resource will be much needed… I’m happy to help out in any way I can…
PS: If the FLOSS manual is meant to be the all-in-one resource, I wonder about including the Chunity stuff??

_______________________________________________Hi,
I just added 2 chapters (and updated an existing one), to the ChucK FLOSS manual (https://en.flossmanuals.net/chuck).
- Array Object Functions
- String Object Functions
- Other Objects Reference (added FileIO and SeriaIO)
There's still 'some' work to do to make the FLOSS manual really comprehensive, but we'll eventually get there
Next step would probably be a bit of text formatting. Especially in the various 'reference' sections, there are too many 'styles'.Just a quick note about the FLOSS manual and ChucK documentation in general.
What I always found difficult (especially at the begin of my adventure with ChucK), was the fact the the documentation wasn't centralized. There are plenty of places on the internet where you can find bits and bops, but none is really comprehensive (some are outdated, some just incomplete, and so on).
I believe ChucK is now mature enough and needs a fully comprehensive (and official) documentation. The FLOSS manual could help with that (my personal opinion, open for discussions :) ).Wouldn't be easier if there was THE place where all the documentation is?Looking forward to hearing from you.In the meanwhile, give me a shout if you wanna help with the FLOSS manual, there's still plenty to do :P
Cheers,Mario
