How do you want to structure the documentation ?<div> </div><div> <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 8:32 AM, Jamu Kakar <<a href="mailto:jkakar@kakar.ca">jkakar@kakar.ca</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">Hi Nachiketa, (Please use 'Reply all' to make sure the list is included when you respond to messages) Great, glad to hear it! We'd would *love* help with documentation, it's a real sore spot for the project. I've started a branch: lp:~jkakar/storm/documentation With some very basic beginning work at putting a manual in place. Maybe we can work together to develop and outline for it and then start to fill in sections? Thanks, J. <div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 3:22 PM, Nachiketa Mishra <<a href="mailto:nmishra@uab.edu">nmishra@uab.edu</a>> wrote: > This is great. > Thanks a lot.
