Good news everyone!

I've been working over the past few days to consolidate and update all 
of the available Player documentation on the Player wiki.  This work has 
been focused mostly on the Tutorials[1] page.  I've added tutorials on 
how to write interfaces and plugins, and tried to categorize things 
better using the wiki category feature.  The biggest additions are 
tutorials on writing plugin drivers and interfaces.

As for the doxygen-generated documentation, I want to start to move away 
from keeping things like tutorials there.  The doxygen stuff much harder 
to update, and doesn't allow for rapid collaboration and expansion.  
Unfortunately, keeping all of the tutorials on the wiki requires 
internet access, whereas the doxygen documentation can be viewed 
locally.  If this is a problem for people, I can update the doxygen 
tutorials from the wiki before releasing new tarballs or come up with a 
way to keep things in sync.

Finally, I'd like to ask people what kinds of tutorials and examples 
they'd like to see.  If there's a need that's not being fulfilled by the 
current documentation, I'd like to try to fix that.  Please look through 
the new tutorials section and reply with any feedback.  And as always, 
please feel free to write, edit, and correct the wiki articles.

Thanks,

Rich
