WarehouseJim's Mogre Notes

See attached zipped html file. (aside: why can't you post plain HTML files?)

While working with Mogre, I have compiled some fairly extensive notes (~19,000 words apparently) which I think might be useful for the Mogre community. In an ideal world, I would write them up more fully and check that they're actually correct, but realistically I'm not going to do that any time soon. They include quite a lot of links to various topics and have been added to since I started using Mogre, so there should be something for all levels. I haven't stopped working with Mogre, so they will continue to grow with time.

I intend to put them in the Wiki at a later date - where should I put them?

Any pre-wiki comments are appreciated.

wow, good job, i'm sure it will benefit to all the mogre community. about adding them to the wiki, some of them could probably enhance existing article. perhaps, we could introduce a general section for notes that don't fit in a particular article

thanks for sharing !
