Module Developer Resources

Most of my comments are in reference to this starting page:

   [1] http://www.netbeans.org/community/kb/index.html

As someone who has developed a module, this page as a "starting page" is
very confusing.  Eventually, you need to get to information like:

   [2]  
http://www.netbeans.org/download/dev/javadoc/OpenAPIs/org/openide/ 
modules/doc-files/api.html

Now, you all should try to find [2] from [1].

This isn't well organized for someone who wants to develop a module and  
needs
a good starting point.  There needs to be a *current* tutorial on  
Netbeans 4.0/4.1
as well as "howtos" for the different modules intended to be used by  
other
modules (e.g. XML, projects, etc.)

If I had the time, as I like Netbeans so much, I'd write one.   
Unfortunately, I
don't have any spare time.

I think an easy quick fix would be a really good starting page.  The  
URL [2] above
is really quite useful in getting started.  Having the right collection  
of
"documents that will get you started" accessible at the very top of [1]  
would really
help.

the
inflexions, i.e. to the degree of analysis effected by the language
considered."
