Possibly more accurate to say it's the first thing on the list, but the last
to get done :-)

I have some sections of the Cirklon manual started, and a rough idea how I
will put them together.
The main problem getting it done is that a user manual is a snapshot of the
functionality at the time of writing.
I keep adding stuff, so the manual is going to be out of date the day after
I finish it.
I need to stop adding stuff for a bit, and write down what's there already.

The idea of Wiki-based documentation does appeal.
Not as the sole source - I fully intend to print up manuals.
A ring binder containing a snapshot of Wiki-based documentation in a
print-friendly format might be the best way to go.
I have no idea how I would go about setting up a wiki.
I guess I need some server-side scripting and a database.
It's been a long time since I did that for a living.

If you've seen the tutorial video on Youtube, the close-up view of the
display is actually a web-cam capture of a second display located behind my
Cirklon, slaved to the main display raster signals.
I can take native resolution screen-captures directly from that in GIF
format, inverting the colour to suit printing better.
That bit shouldn't be a problem.
