This is getting rather offtopic for p5p, but... when people find that the wxPerl documentation is what it is, they usually take the time to complain about it, but so far almost nobody has taken the time to actually do anything about it. And I am more than willing to give commit rights to documentation or code, but I do not expect there will be flocks of documentation (or code) writers running to get commit rights. Regards Mattia
