Would Gcc internals documentation count or is it more for a whole project documentation work? I probably missed the thing about this in London since i had to leave on the Sunday morning. I am kind of interested but i am unsure what kind of documentation would be appropriate i've spent the last few days working on some internals documentation on and off so its kind of fresh in my mind. --Phil
