-Getting people to use SDL Perl: Docs, API, and Distribution
+SDL Manual: Reviewers Needed
 </h1>
 <div class="CONTENT">
-<h4><i>The road so far</i></h4><br />
-Things have been busy but fruitful. Our two core modules are getting to be a bit more stable. <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Alien-SDL+1.403">Alien::SDL 1.405</a> is behaving well. This foundational stability will start to show results in <a href="http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=SDL+2.405">SDL</a> too I believe. Most excitingly the main developer of frozen-bubble is reviewing our <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kthakore/Games-FrozenBubble-2.202/lib/Games/FrozenBubble.pm">Games::FrozenBubble</a> port to CPAN. All good and well, but to keep this project going we need to improve.<br />
+Work has begun on the 4th chapter of the SDL Manual. The code is on <a href="http://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual">github</a>, and I regularly update the <a href="http://sdlperl.ath.cx/releases/SDL_Manual.pdf">pdf</a> on our server. <br />
 <br />
-<h4><i>Getting people to use SDL Perl</i></h4><br />
-After a long chat with a new SDL user on #sdl today, I realize we still have some way to go. Currently it seems we are lacking in a few areas. We can definitely use some feedback and help in these areas. <br />
+Writing manuals is not of my greatest skills, so I would love some review of my work. Any problems can be reported in the <a href="http://github.com/PerlGameDev/SDL_Manual/issues">issues</a>. <br />

-<ul><li>Tutorials/Documentation<br />
-</li>
-
-<ul><li>We have more docs now on http://sdl.perl.org but they suck</li>
-<li>What type of tutorials do you think will be good for beginners?</li>
-
-<ul><li>A project start to finish?</li>
-<li>Individual tutorials for various topics?</li>
-<li>What needs to go in SDL::CookBook?</li>
-</ul></ul>
-<li>API sweetness</li>
-
-<ul><li>SDL Perl depends on distinct C libraries</li>
-
-<ul><li>This makes naming conventions, data formats different the SDL:: namespaces</li>
-<li>How do people design this stuff?</li>
-
-<ul><li>We are hackers and we just go do stuff but I think this needs some prior thought</li>
-<li>Any takers?</li>
-</ul></ul></ul>
-<li>Distribution</li>
-
-<ul><li>If SDL scripts can be packaged up simply for game developers to distribute their games it will be a big plus</li>
-
-<ul><li>One way is a Wx::Perl::Packer clone</li>
-<li>Another is a CPAN/Steam clone that game devs can upload games too and people can point and click download games?&nbsp;</li>
