Calling all contributors for dolphin docs improvement
Well, we have been working with Dolphin for a long time and we know that it is definitely a great script. But for the last few months, the Unity is becoming like a dustbin for foolish questions where people post questions just to post and show others that they too are there in Unity. All this is happening due to lack of a complete Dolphin documentation. Though answers to some common questions can be found at Trac, people still post them because they don't even bother to visit Trac once.
Now all of us need to do something to stop all this rubbish and shut the mouth of all those people which keep shouting 'Dolphin doesn't come with a Documentation'. I am calling all those guys, who consider Dolphin as a nice script and want to contribute to its development, to come and help in the making of a nice Dolphin Documentation. Though i had initially taken this initiative to make a Dolphin Docu, i could not keep my promise due to several problems. Being a student, i don't get much time to working on the Docu after taking out time from my other web works as i'm just a social web designer who helps people through web activities. Secondly, as the new Dolphin 6.1 is going to arrive soon, much of my work has gone wasted as lots of modifications have been made in Dolphin.
Now i don't think i will get sufficient time to work on the complete Documentation. What we guys can do is that everyone can post here something which he/she thinks that can be included in the Docu. The Pundits can keep coming to this post and if they find something useful, they can add it to trac.
This would really help Dolphin to face those people who don't even care to understand it before posting their negative views here.
Guys lets work together to contribute to Dolphin.Boonex i will try my best to contribute to Dolphin.
I am a technical writer and would be up for doing some of the work. The big thing would be to start with an operational section on the default Dolphin installation, explaining (in detail) see more
No one should have to spend even one second searching else where for answers.
Although the tutorials by our pundits are indeed helpful additions they do not preclude the need for proper documentation to be INCLUDED with the download.
But who is going to do it if we don't?
Until 6.1 stable is released and we know exactly what we are writing about we would pretty much be spinning our wheels.
We could though, start planning and making a general outline of what that document should contain and get started in that way.
I am at randy_6508@hotmail.com.
The unfortunate thing about the whole project is that it will be an uphill climb and we will always be behind the curve of revisions.
I think we should also include a Code Modification Doc in which we can write about some small changes which can be made to Dolphin. I would request everyone here atlest contribute to it see more

Your efforts would be acknowledged.
It allows for Text, Audio, Video (from source file or your computer mic and cam)
I would be interested in customizing this even further to address the needs we need to complete.

If i am asked to speak whatever comes to my mind after reading your post, then i would say that we ned your participation for making a good Dolphin docs. You have already contributed so much to Boonex products development and your site askboonex.com shows your dedication. Definately docs can't replace askboonex.com, but they can definately improve conditions of Unity. I would request you to be a part of this noble act because without a person like you, our team would be nothing. As i mentioned see more
