</div>>From my view this is not absolutely true. There in fact is a lot of<br>
documentation, but it's often a problem to find it. Most things are<br>
already available in the wiki or the generated docs.<br>

</div>If asked I'd suggest:<br>
<br>
There could be some overview pages (made manually or by scripting)<br>
handling special information requests. One, imho the first of those<br>
pages would be an information page for beginners.<br>
<br>
Like often seen on development project pages, one of the most visible<br>
things is an index page having a small selction of the most searched<br>
pages, titles may be "getting started", "help in development", and so<br>
on.<br>
<br>
Lazarus has no beginners page at all (checked quickly this moment, not<br>
speaking about fpc).<br>
