Description

Ongoing online documentation on the kamaelia website providing 'recipes' and tutorials on how to achieve particular goals.

Code fragments will usually consitute examples in the /Code/Python/Kamaelia/Examples/ part of the codebase.

The aim is to provide a resource from which users can learn how to achieve things using Kamaelia and gain overview and familiarity with the system and its capabilities.

This is an ongoing aspect of the more general need to document and the project accessible to potential developers and users. There is therefore no defined end point.
