Hello,

> - Reference manual (api)
I agree completely. The current user manual tries to be both and fails at both
IMVHO. A user manual should consist of several short pages with a how-to style
of writing. Then, if we need more implementation details, we can go check the
Doxygen reference.
For a good example of this, see OpenSG's documentation. There's a tutorial
http://www.opensg.org/doc-1.6.0/TutorialIntroduction.html
and an API reference
http://www.opensg.org/doc-1.6.0/index.html
In this case, they used Doxygen for both, but the tutorial could work as
straight HTML or anything else. A Wiki in this sense would work well, as long
as you keep pages short and to the point (easy to update, easy to find
information).
