And there will be documenation for all the LabVIEW VIs that will be availalble. It's going to beta soon, and I'd expect the documenation, at least, will start becoming generally available soon after that.

I for one vote for having as much documentation as possible available as soon as possible. Even if it is beta documentation.

I started as a mentor last month. My team has been using IFI and Kevin's code. I have been considering porting our implementation of the 2008 robot to WPILIB in hopes that the 2009 WPI package under Windriver will resemble the existing package. Is that a reasonable assumption and is it worth my time to do the port?
Thanks
