The complexity of a project is relative to the ones who produce it.
That's why the best way to teach how to realize a project is at fisrt,
to show the basis. In the User Guide, you will find a lot of advices and
tips which give you all the possibilities to start a project in good conditions.
Now you can think that these basis are simple and it is true but let me
to say that in the most of the projects I examined, these "simple" things
are not applied. Then for each person there is a certain level of complexity.
With the User Guide, we have a first but proven level. After that, tools
like the swapmeet website and the mailing list give you the possibility
to get specific info about your specific project. Your feedback is really
important for us. But it must be constructive; remarks as "it is not good"
or "you can do better" cannot help us a lot.
Documentation is an hard part of a software mainly in a domain like
the 3D real time where a lot of things change. Then the collaboration between
us and you are the best way to get a well result :o)

Hi Frederique When I read in the User Guide of Virtools 2.5, section 28.3 - Plan the Content: "Normally, planning the content is your responsability. For the purpose of this tutorial, we have planned the content for you." I suggest that you put yourself more in the shoes of the user rather than asking the user to climb a mountain. The two examples covered in the User Guide are so simplified that I find them difficult to apply to a real project. The User Guide needs some help, some content have been presented so many times and the same way in previous versions that its hard to think that all the feedback from people learning Virtools has been used. Since you mention in your email that "PDFs can be modified quickly and cheaply, downloaded ". Please let me know where new versions of Virtools pdfs can be found. I hope this helps.Jean-Marc
