That was my idea with the original Gambas wiki (before we moved 
it to gambasdoc.org.)  Unfortunately, Twiki was the wiki 
software we were using, and after a few years it became obvious 
that Twiki sucks.  

I hope we can regain some of the more community oriented stuff on 
gambasdoc.org that people had put into the old wiki, like code 
snippets and whatnot.  It's still out there at 
http://www.binara.com/gambas-wiki if you click the static 
version, but you can't search it or anything and it's organized 
pretty badly since everyone just put their examples wherever 
they wanted.

Unfortunately, for my first component, which is now gb.pcre, I 
started with some already existing C-based component (some, like 
gb.qt. are C++, and others nowadays are Gambas) and feverishly 
modified it until it did what I wanted, using the documentation 
only as a reference when I got stuck.  When I dust off gb.posix 
I'll try to document exactly what I do to get it going, since 
it's a fairly simple and direct mapping between the POSIX 
functions and Gambas methods.
