Hi John.
The GNU Recutils user manual lives in the file doc/recutils.texi. The
problems we currently have with this manual are mainly two:
- The manual is incomplete and does not currently cover some of the new
facilities that will go in 1.6. The list of not covered functionality
is:
+ Grouping (option -G|--group-by to recsel). There is a section
called "recsel Grouping" which I started, but it is not finished.
+ The aggregated functions. This would ideally go in a dedicated
section after the section on grouping.
+ Joins. We would need a section "recsel Joins" or something.
- Some people complained about the manual not being tutorial-like
enough, meaning that it is difficult to get started in using the
tools. It would be probably good to re-structure it.
Additionally, the Emacs mode rec-mode.el is now getting stable and
better. I started a skeleton of a manual for the mode at
doc/rec-mode.texi, but we need to write it down.
