How you image such quality control ?
Our quality control  is - time and constant iterations to fix glitches.

Seriously, we dream developer special database driven system for our docs
and their auto-generation, but this is project of future.

We cannot drop them because C++ is primary language of Valentina engine,
right?
 
I perfectly understand the luck of docs for C++ developers...
We do all our best, Halldor...just work is more than time

This is not true - about behind and release time !!!
 
C++ API even now is superior to all other products.
Because we cannot wrap 100% of C++ features into plugin products.

Todo such C++ Reference I need stop development and spend at least ONE Month
working in inDesign and PDF....problematic.

* I recommend you download and use V4RB Reference.pdf
    this is the most near by ideas (classes) lang to c++ SDK.

* I think you have see that we have setup wiki on our site.
    This is because now we can grow online docs step by step.

   - I have 30 minutes now - I go to Wiki and write one more page.
    
   - You ask me something, I must answer you NOT in email letter
        but in WIKI and give you that URL.

    this is idea...

* We really pay less attention to C++ SDK because you can image that we have
not many C++ developers. This is bad of course. We are VERY VERY interested
in C++ developers because you see the most low levels of Valentina and can
help even improve it...
