I've been working on the documentation for pcb-rnd scripting lately. Proof reading and comments would be appreciated. The documents are work-in-progress.
I have a Rosetta stone of examples demonstrating how to write simple scripts. It doesn't explain how the system works, but shows easy-to-understand practical examples. Useful for those who like learn by doing and look up the "theoretical" background only after seeing things in practice.
Another document, the scripting intro focuses on explaining how things are built up. This one is useful for those who first want to understand the design and then look at how to do things in practice.
As a next step I plan to reorganize the package documentation and split them all into a high level "what's the concept" doc and a low level reference manual.
I also plan to improve the links between the docs and write more rosetta examples. I plan to have a few more all-language examples on the most basic things. The more complex examples would be written in awk, lua and maybe ruby.
