I'm just not sure that we would comply with the requirements for a WikiBook. The work as a whole is supposed to have a narrative of some kind - pages as reference probably don't fall under that category. I'm having a hard time thinking of how a "book" would organize dozens of modules from different sources.

I guess we could take an approach where we have a few introduction chapters on the language (history, syntax, operators, etc.) and then sections like the MaxIDE CE version has for help: Audio, Streams, Data, BASIC, Images, Graphics (2D and 3D), Events, Input/Output, Networking, Scripting (LUA, and other modules), Math, GUI, System, and Compression.

The big difference would be to organize every module so it fits into one of the chapters -- adding a chapter if needed -- instead of having a "Misc" category to throw all the third party stuff into.

It would be helpful if BRL authorized us to use their help text as a base.
