Regarding the ``javadoc-style automatic documentation generation from source code comments'' issue. I know this has come up in the past, but I found something that could be very cool. Folks talked about using doxygen http://www.doxygen.org/ but weren't happy with the graphics that got generated along with the documentation. To make the decision even harder, a new version of the BeOS port is out: http://www.bebits.com/app/2800 I looked around a bit and came across a small, simple, C++ javadoc style comments --to--> html docs program called ccdoc http://www.joelinoff.com/ccdoc/ It needs someone to port it over to BeOS. Nice 'n simple. Could be just what the project is looking for... ---j
