There is no problem referring anything I wrote in any of the public
mailing lists or newsgroups, although I'd prefer if people didn't do it
when I write something wrong ;-)

I'm not sure if I have the time to read and understand it (I don't use
Eclipse myself so it risks to be difficult) but you could just put it on
the wxWiki (wiki.wxwidgets.org) where people would be able to comment on
and correct it in the future.

Disclaimer: I haven't read or followed either of the two guides mentioned.

If your guide uses most of the same tools, compiler, etc, is a much
more robust and easier to follow guide, and is more up to date, then
it's more than appropriate to replace the old guide entirely.

If it does use a different set of development tools, or provides an
alternate approach where both work, but both provide the ability to do
something that the other doesn't, then they should remain as separate
guides. It's fine if there's multiple guides on the wiki, even if it
is for the same compiler.

I also just wanted to note that there is a "Preview" button while
editing the wiki. Please make use of it before saving your edits. It's
really hard to review your changes when you've made over 100 edits to
the same article, and most of them are changes to a single word or a
single line.

Thanks for your work.

Bryan Petty

Yes, that is fine, thanks.

We just have to review changes to make sure no-one is defacing or
spamming the wiki, and it also gives us a chance to spot areas that
could be improved before it sees more viewers.
