Hey,
I find the plan on the wiki a bit unreadable. Before adding a menu ala
cairo website and in order to help people a bit until that menu is
written, I suggest the following plan:
* Introdction
[we put the first sentence of the current wiki here]
* Download
- You can obtain released versions of XCB from
http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist .
- Follow the instructions from the InstallationGuide [another page] to
build.
* Development
- If you wish to work on XCB, please read the DevelopersGuide
[describe what that page is about]. Of course, there's still a lot to do.
- Xlib-XCB: To aid porting applications, you can configure Xlib to use
XCB for the transport layer. We call this Xlib/XCB.
- Mailing lists: Discussion of XCB and Xlib/XCB is through the XCB
mailing list.
- IRC: XCB developers also hang out on IRC, and have occasional
meetings.
- The XcbApi is documented. There is also a tutorial and some random
notes.
- XML/XCB: XCB is built atop an XML description of the X core protocol
and common extension protocols called XML/XCB. This protocol can be used
in other interesting ways.
* Miscellaneaous
- [history]
- [publications]
What do you think ?
