While these are for the 2005.1 release, they are still perfectly valid |
| 13 |
for use in catalyst 2.0. |

Correct. The examples are probably the best documentation out there. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The simple truth is that we have been making so many changes to the code |
| 25 |
over the last year or so that it has been impossible to keep up with the |
| 26 |
web-based documentation. We'd rather have working code than pretty |
| 27 |
documents. Sorry guys. |

Please, please, please... do *not* join #gentoo-releng unless you want |
| 37 |
to watch us talk. We are nearing release times which means that |
| 38 |
*nobody* that is not working on an official Gentoo release will have |
| 39 |
voice in that channel. The channel is *not* a catalyst support channel. |
| 40 |
There is a mailing list for that express purpose. We don't need a flood |
| 41 |
of people coming in asking how to use the application while we're busy |
| 42 |
trying to get a release out the door. If you want catalyst help or just |
| 43 |
to discuss catalyst, please join the gentoo-catalyst mailing list. |
