welcome on board. Especially with regards to documentation we could use quite some help. Your offer is gladly accepted and highly welcomed. Maybe I should give some starters from my point of view: * Besides the INSTALL and README file in the project root directory there are some files in the doc sub directory. The most out of date file seems to be the doc/README file which is quite dated. Maybe we should drop it completely in favor of the README in the base directory. * At the moment the documentation is quite scattered over the files in the doc directory, the information on https://tlf.github.io and the copy of the old original web side at the end of that page. * The most actual and correct description of the different aspects of TLFs configuration is the man page, which should be in a good shape. * Maybe you should fork also https://github.com/Tlf/tlf.github.com . It contains the source for the above mentioned web page (tlf.github.io) and furthermore (in 'oldmanual' subdirectory) a copy of the old original web page converted to asciidoc. Maybe that can serve as some starting points. Feel free to ask here. Zoli, Nate and Ervin as well as others can surely give additional information. 73, de Tom > > I've forked the project on Github so I can edit the documentation and > submit pull requests.
