Hi Tiago,
i think the user manual is a great idea, and i applaud your efforts
here.
I wonder if this effort could be made less painless by using some web2
ideas.
For instance instead of maintaining a text document, and trying to
keep up with changes in imageJ
a more dynamic way it to put it in a wiki pr similar,
where its much easier to edit, and allow others to also contribute.
in the pipes is imageJ2 and the manual will need to keep up with
developments there i guess....
even though backwards compatability will be a priority.
As you point out, you might not have much time in the future to keep
it up to date...
so letting the community do that is a smart choice... IMHO
cheers
Dan
