The first rev of technical documents are usually full of ambiguities that the writers and the people close to the project don't see because the resolution is obvious to them. I would like to see all of the documentation available and a forum where we can start commenting and asking questions as soon as possible.
Is there any word yet on when WPIlib is gonna be released. I read somewhere that there would be an initial release of some code around this time and that the final release would come with the 2009 electronics kit. I know the beta teams will get a chance to use it now but will non-beta teams be able to take a look at the code?
