digitalmars.D.dwt - Install instructions
- Bill Baxter (13/13) Apr 05 2008 I think this install instruction needs some re-writing:

- Tower Ty (4/4) Apr 05 2008 Its a common problem here on "D".
- Bill Baxter (8/41) Apr 05 2008 Ok. That does make more sense. I'll try to clean it up.
- Jesse Phillips (3/48) Apr 05 2008 no, actually it is now Franky? 0.95 that should be used for Tango, so
- Bill Baxter (94/142) Apr 06 2008 I tried to update the instructions, but I've had to give up for the time...

I think this install instruction needs some re-writing:
"""
1. Do one of the following
* Download the latest Tango compatible DMD version (for now 1.025).
At number 10 do the first moment
* Alternative download DMD from the Tango website bundled with
Tango - http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/DmdDownloads. At
number 10 do the second moment.
"""
In particular the phrase "At number 10 do the {first,second} moment"
doesn't really make sense in English. What is that supposed to mean?
(BTW I did get DWT installed anyway.)

English is not my native language and I didn't know what to call it but
feel free to change it.
What I mean is that when you are at step (or what to call it) 10 you
should only do one of the two things and it depends on what you did at
step 1.
If you do "Download the latest Tango compatible DMD version (for now
1.025). At number 10 do the first moment" then at step 10 you should do
"Download and install the latest SVN trunk of Tango".
Do you understand it better now? Maybe you can formulate it in a better
way or someone else.

Its a common problem here on "D". I would suggest you locate an english speaking friend and just run it by them first before you post it on the public site . A nice clean install is necessary so the focus goes immediately to the new subject If you start with a confusing install then that confusion stays and the application suffers.

BCS <ao pathlink.com> Reply to Tower,Its a common problem here on "D".Your most likely correct but I rather suspect it more general than just here (I don't have empirical evidence of this) For open, online communities, there will be language issues. Whatever language you use, someone with something worthwhile to say will not have the language skills to say it (or the reverse). I think the best we can hope for is a bit of understanding and a bit of help where needed (and a wiki won't hurt ;-)

Do one of the following * Download the latest Tango compatible DMD version (for now 1.025). At number 10 do the first moment * Alternative download DMD from the Tango website bundled with Tango - http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/DmdDownloads. At number 10 do the second moment. """ In particular the phrase "At number 10 do the {first,second} moment" doesn't really make sense in English. What is that supposed to mean? (BTW I did get DWT installed anyway.) --bbEnglish is not my native language and I didn't know what to call it but feel free to change it. What I mean is that when you are at step (or what to call it) 10 you should only do one of the two things and it depends on what you did at step 1. If you do "Download the latest Tango compatible DMD version (for now 1.025). At number 10 do the first moment" then at step 10 you should do "Download and install the latest SVN trunk of Tango". Do you understand it better now? Maybe you can formulate it in a better way or someone else.
