SRL Archive - News and General

i'v always noticed this, and its been bugging me for ever too lol. the SRL manual is very outdated, by like what, 2 years? this isnt very usefull to the new people, or people like me that need to know if there is a function for something, and need to know very fast without looking in the includes :(

i know this isnt very much of a big deal, and probobly no one cares about this what so ever, but it would be awesome if the manual can get updated :D

i will also be glad to help out in the updating, because i'm sure it will be a lot of hard boring repetitive work

I have days of free time, I'm also available to help.

And this has been mentioned on here more then once, I know I read at least two threads just like this before, I doubt anything will be done :p hopefully someone decides to finally update it though, I'd also help out with what I can :)

it would be nice if they allowed the members to do something about it. "We're either too lazy or don't have the time to, but we wont allow anyone else to do it, so it will just not get done"

oh, we're not allowed to? that's why it's been outdated for over 9000 days?

i suppose you could do it, but like a bunch of other things, the higher ups won't usually accept it or do anything about it unless one of them does it. So even if you do a fantastic job in updating it, there's no guarantee it'll be used. Seeing as as far as i know a lot of them are very open source kind of people, you'd think they'd put more faith in community driven projects.

The autoupdater must've been broken, it used to update itself :)

it should be up to date…

Why not update the wiki?

We could do that to, I guess, but I'd have to talk to them about it (I have a lot of time, no problems with helping).

where is it? I cannot seem to find it.

This: http://freddy1990.com/srlmanual/index.html ?

ah. Not what i was talking about. I thought we were talking about the one that used to be linked to on the main page.

EDIT: though i do think it would serve itself much better being on the wiki, with more comprehensive examples like what we tried starting on freddy's wiki with the SCAR manual.

I'd be happy to help with that, if anyone wants to pitch in with me.

There should be no hand writing manuals, especially if the comments are parse-able. :p

Thats just completely silly. It would be more like a very comprehensive help file. I always like to use the comparison to the php manual.

My spelling was correct. I meant that there shouldn't be any hand writing the manuals.

unless you still are saying what i thought you were saying and responded to, i dont understand you.

I don't see your point though. What exactly do you ask? :)

He means he doesn't understand what you mean.

lol, i meant, are you implying that a person shouldnt write the manual, and that it should be generated? If so, i disagree and point you to the php manual.
