[Bf-docboard] Back!

Ok,

I managed to include the ray-mir stuff from Olivier.

I only needed to save the OO stuff as text and transform it in XML by hand,
MediaWiki scores another point or two...

And you are not the only one with this problem, that's why MediaWiki is a
nice option.

No, but it is less urgent, and I will be clearer few lines down.

Part I is a mix of reference and tutorials, it is organized in 'themes'  and
the tutorial part predominates.

Part II is a true reference, each Blender command is analyzed and explained.

I need more focus here now for two reasons:

1 - It is more outdated than part I
2 - If something in part I has changed (a button, a screenshot) all our
smart Blender users are perfecly able to find the button in its new position
*or* refear to the Reference to find it *but* for new buttons it is quicker
to write the reference "This button does this" rather than to write a
complete tutoria acheiving some effect with that button, and a reference is
easier to browse.

Indeed the RayMir Stuff I just included from you is a good example of
Reference, you described in details some buttons, not just copying tooltips
;)
