Re: [Numpy-discussion] [SciPy08] Documentation BoF
- Should we have a separate User manual and a Reference manual, or only a single manual?
Are there still plans to write a 10 page 'Getting started with NumPy' document? I think this would be very useful. Ideally a 'getting started' document, the docstrings, and a reference manual is all the documentation you'd need. I try to avoid reading long user manuals unless I'm forced to, but I don't know what other people do. Neil

I did some work towards that: http://mentat.za.net/numpy/intro/intro.html But in the end we decided that we needed something more marketing and less tutorial oriented. Cheers Stéfan
