After some time using Upp, I realized that most of my time is spent searching for doc/help and to reimplement stuffs that are already present on Upp but few/not at all documented.
So, I got a couple of ideas, maybe not so news but....

1) Export the manual in PDF/RTF format. I know, there's HTML already, but PDF is quite better for searching and indexing stuffs.
Mirek told me that Koldo is already working on this...
What's the status ? Do you need help on it ?

2) Add a "true search text" inside THEIDE. That's really a miss, each time I look inside Ctrl help page I becomes crazy !
Maybe it'll not that easy to look inside QTF, but I think it's becoming a must.

3) Last but not least.... we could join efforts and write an Upp book. It could be done on an opensource tool like Openoffice Word, for example. It could contain the docs, some step by step guides, some guided samples and so on. I'd be glad to partecipate, but we should be at least 4-5 people on it, it's a big effort.
