As I haven't really gone through them since before tiger's release I don't have any examples off hand. If I find something that sticks out as *huh* why's this here, and *what does is that suppose to mean* I'll speak up, but after going through some of the docs, there seems to be more example tutorial wise which wasn't the case prior to tiger. One thing that does stick out, and is in reference to my setIsVisible comment. I can see why it's documented elsewhere as it's part of the NSWindowScripting, but things like this should be somehow referenced in NSWindow as well, as it's being called the same way as a normal method for that class. It should just be side noted that it's not really part of that class, but it works the same way.

I can see where there is a lot of information about obj-c, and I can see where it'd be hard to organize It' not just what is written, but the way it's organized on the site.


If you have suggestions for organisation that you think would make things easier, please let me know.


Something I expected would be in one section is instead posted in another. It's just hard to find things in most cases, and some pages are utterly useless they have 2 paragraphs of 3-4 sentences that really don't tell you anything, even in some of the docs for specific objects, you look at a method, and look at it's description, and your like "WTF does that mean?". It's just bad.


When you find cases like this, please file bug reports.
