Gaps in updated VPython Documentation (help) online

[Nathaniel Cunningham]

Congrats (Bruce?) on an updated VPython Documentation website! Looks great, and easier to find things.

A few things from the old help page seem to be missing, and some of my students couldn't find what they needed:

1) The basic idea of object attributes and how to set/access them -- this used to be in the  Overview part of the Help page -- is missing. Would be good to include that one can invent one's own attributes in addition to the built-in ones.

2) Vectors: the Vector Operations page doesn't mention that the components of a vector are named attributes x, y, z and can be accessed as such (e.g. myvec.x). (I also suggest that "Vectors" should be its own top-level heading in the left-side help menu, rather than tucked inside the Math Functions heading.)

Finally, the Documentation page says, "Should you find an error, please report it to the one of the user forums." -- but has no link or indication of where one might find the user forums. I link would be helpful!

Thanks for the great updates!

Thank you!

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately it's likely to be a couple of months before the documentation can be corrected, due to heavy work load on some key people at the moment.

There is a missing page on the server regarding groups (https://www.glowscript.org/docs/VPythonDocs/group.html)

I also want to thank you for the great work on the package.
