Re: [pygame] Downloadable documentation

I'm a big fan of PyGame, having used it for the last 2 years, but I
note that there is no downloadable documentation. I *do* have it on
hard drive, by grabbing the web pages individually, but of course the
links don't work :-(
Anyhow, since PyGame 1.8 is upon us, I thought I'd contribute
something back by working on some nice linked downloadable docs for
the occasion. Essentially I'd just throw together the current docs
with some code examples and a couple of simple tutorials, tidy up the
look to make it consistent, and then package it up into a tarball.
Just thought I'd post here for any feedback on this, or if anyone has
any suggestions for me before I start the work.

Hi Chris,
As far as I know, the documentation comes with the sources in a raw text
format (see inappropriatly named .doc files). By the way, I think
reStructured Text (http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html) would be a
more user friendly format. Anyway, HTML docs can be generated with a
Python program.
In case you use a Debian based Linux distribution, HTML files are
generated as the package is installed. It is located in
/usr/share/doc/python2.3-pygame/
Cheers,
Julien
