[Openmcl-devel] ffi dictionary gripes

[Dan Knapp]

   Yes, both good points.  The incomplete cross references are left over 
from the old
flat-file docs, and are already on my list of stuff to do, although 
they should probably
be higher up it, given how much of the ongoing development seems to 
relate to the
FFI.

   As to the dynamic environments thing: Yes, it would be great if it 
had a lot more
warnings, and of course I try to anticipate mistakes, but the only way 
to really do
that is by waiting to see what confuses people.  I'd like to add a note 
about what
you're trying to do, but I'm a little confused as to what it should 
say... suggestions
welcome, or even just descriptions of what mislead you.

   I think in general, the more tractable approach is to focus on adding 
examples
and tutorials of how things can be done easily, so that people won't 
try to
reinvent them in the first place.

   Hamilton: Nag acknowledged, thank you.  At this point I've sat on 
your build docs
way too long, so I just pushed them up onto the site with minimal 
editing.  Thank
you again for writing them!
