It would be nice if there was a description of classes created for mediaportal that can be used by other developers, and how to use them. and maybo some more complex examples, of how to play with the screen.

This would help new programmers, and prevent people from writing there own classes when this is not neccesary, that will keep the code smaller.

I realise that the programmers are busy, however it could mean that the nr of programmers increases.

for example I was a delphi programmer, I have a lot of problems interfacing the minesweeper class to Mediaportal.

Till now I didn't search for help on the IRC, I have spend much more time in the interface between media portal then in developing the actual game class. and I have still problems with that interfacing.

the initial documentation of frodo how to write a plugin is a great start. however I needed more information to create my first plugin,

Maybe this only counts for me, but I expect that other people have the same problems, and could greatly benefit from it.
