At first, it wasn't clear to me from this, or the attached outline, how this differed from the authoring guide I'm working on. But based on recent IRC discussions, I would just like to get some clarification about this. Do you intend to make this follow a cookbook approach, which primarily focuses on how to create specific kinds of content based on use cases? e.g. Like the following use cases: * How to publish a video or audio in a web page and create custom user interface for it. * How to use canvas to draw a chart or create an interactive game. * How to mark up photos with captions. * etc. If that's the case, then I can see that how it would be complimentary to, rather than competing with, the existing authoring guide. If I've still not understood, then please clarify. -- Lachlan Hunt - Opera Software http://lachy.id.au/ http://www.opera.com/
