complete documentation for 1.0 release about julia HOT 9 CLOSED

We may need some function-wise documentation also for 1.0. The function reference can just stay on the wiki for now. If deemed useful, we can make it accessible within julia as well.

I still prefer using the matlab help command over anything else.

We can start filing issues on specific things that need to be documented. Every now and then I recall some interesting or important feature of julia that I don't think has been documented. I created a "doc" label for such things.

Let me know if there are any sections of the docs I should write or help with.

I just started on Conversion and Promotion. The obvious gaping hole is Arrays, which is a pretty big and important topic. The other thing that it would be great to have more complete documentation of is Parallel Computing. What's there so far is great, but the last few sections are still blank.

Here are the final remaining TODOs:

• better and more examples in regular expressions
• take another pass over function, add section on tuples
• arrays
• reading and writing from external programs
• reflection in metaprogramming
• complete parallel computing

from julia.

Need to document reading the output of external processes.

Don't we have enough documentation for 1.0? Can we close this one?

from julia.

Actually, at this point the documentation needs quite a lot of refreshing. I can take a pass through before we release 1.0, probably as one of the last things we do, and make sure that everything is accurate, complete, and current.

I'm closing this because it's obvious.
