Here is an early draft of the book chapter 13 which discusses
Components, Plugins and plugin_wiki.

It is incomplete. Screenshots are missing. It references the trunk code.

Can you please read it and send me feedback?

Can somebody help me make the screenshots for chapter 3 and chapter 13
within this week?
You can a free copy of the final PDF book before everybody else ;-)
Let me know if you can before you start doing it. No need to duplicate
work.

I can do for plugin_wiki chapter, as I am working a lot with that.

let me know about standard format for the image and min-max size/scale, I use default MacOs screenshot tool ( shift+command+4)

Do you want only selection of the funcionality?, zooming ?, just <body> content or including browser window?

As plugin_wiki will be contained in the book I'd suggest to include it
into the main repository for web2py as a standard plugin.

By both actions -- wrinting about it in the book and including it in
the source -- the thing gains more momentum.

Thanks.

Thank you Bruno,

OK. I would like to have the images as tiff in actual size in pixels.
Scale the window so that the default layout fits in the browser. I
will cut it as needed.

Hello,
is it possible to create a plugin / component which expands the
functionality of plugin_wiki?

If so, then It would be great if this could be added to the Chapter
13.

Thanks.
