I'd like to see this happen, too. When I first got things going, I
wanted to write my own math application to simplify reading bit flags in
a variable. I finally copied the skel (I guess that's what it's for) and
was able to do it. The problem was that without looking at the source,
it was hard to know how certaing functions worked. Sure, I copied the
args and hoped for the best, but I'd expect a minimal doc to exist if we
want to see interesting apps evolve.
I'll create a section in the docs for it. Randy -- maybe you can throw
together a quick doc about the things you learned? 5 paragraphs? I'll
edit and put it into the DocBook format and put it in the docs.
