The manual is written in Latex and is in the source distribution in the doc/ directory. You can send documentation patches to me, or if you want to become a regular maintainer of this so you can commit changes yourself, please contact me. > > Also, would it be possible to have a "beta" version of the manual as > well as the "stable" version?

The current development version is already built nightly and posted here: http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/doc/index.html By the way, anyone who wants to post patches, bugs, documentation patches, etc. is welcome to upload them to the nsnam (ns-2 and nam-1) tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=149743 - Tom
