[Bf-docboard] Intro, and apology

[Noel Stoutenburg]

Friends,

I am Noel Stoutenburg, a user who is somewhere between a 1 year user of 
Blender 6 times over, and a 6-year Blender user. I am mainly interested 
in mesh modeling, and that is where I've devoted most of my personal 
efforts, principally in making user content for the Railroad simulator 
software, by th the Australian firm, N3V, under the brand of "Trainz".

Now the apology: having a certain, very modest capability of editing 
different WIKI's, I took irt upon myself, without necessarily following 
the recommended practices to make some small enhancements to the Blender 
documentation. When I identified significant holes in parts of  two 
pages, 
<http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/3D_interaction/Navigating/3D_View_Options>, 
and 
<http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.6/Manual/Modeling/Meshes/Editing/Edges>, 
I took it upon myself to make an effort to close these holes.

In the case of the 3D_View_Options page cited, I made two additions. The 
first was to clarify that the "size" parameter of a background image is 
a scalar value, and to specify in the documentation how it is applied to 
the dimensions of an image. The second was to add a (partial) list of 
supported file formats in which a background image should be found. In 
the latter case, i don't know that this list is exhaustive, but I tested 
the formats I listed.

In the case of the "Meshes/Editing/Edges" page, I noticed a deficiency 
that there was no documentation as to how one would unmark an edge which 
had been formerly marked as a crease for the purposes of the subdivision 
surface modifier, and when I learned the information, I provided that 
for the benefit of the greater community.

I'll try to adhere more closely to the Standard procedures and customs 
in the future.
