SDL 1.3 documentation

Hi all! Sam has asked me to coordinate documentation for SDL 1.3. I’m setting up a wiki using MoinMoin to serve as a portal to all documentation & related resources, and what I have set up so far mirrors the ‘Documentation’ menu on the libsdl website. Before I go any further with adding content, I’d like to hear from YOU, the end users, as to what, if anything, you would like to see added or changed in the 1.3 docs. I’ll post a link to the wiki as soon as I have some readable content up. Meanwhile, if you have suggestions or requests, please let me know. Thanks a lot! :slight_smile:

Doxygen output, documentation for SDL internals, example code (as opposed to
tutorials), development roadmap (mirror trunk/SDL/TODO), changes between SDL
1.2 and 1.3, a list of dummy, incomplete and broken 1.3 APIs, a list of 1.3
APIs likely to change in the near future, compatibility functions and their
native 1.3 equivalents, links to documentation for OpenGL and other
libraries often used with SDL.

and captchas to reduce spam

hi ya,

Keeping old urls around is a good idea:
see: http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI

Currently it seems lots of old documentation urls are broken.

eg, I just looked up this one from a link on another site, and it’s broken:
http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/Environment_20variables
