[scilab-Users] scilab documentation

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Yes, you are right. We had some excellent discussions with Equalis
people and various contributors about this subject. It is why we worked
harder during the last few weeks on this and we will hopefully release a
new web interface for the documentation. 

However, I'd like to point out that we have limited ressources and we
would really appreciate some help in the documentation pages. 
Just a quick bug report (or email to me directly if people are shy)
saying "here is a better description for this function", "here is the
LaTeX equation for this function, could you include it into the
documentation" or "here is an example for this function" is very helpful
and usually fast for the contributor to produce.
