sticky (temporary).

thanks for your work, looking good. havent read fully yet though. i noticed my name is written wrong in the guide
do you plan to release the "source files" as well, so people can participate?

[Jucifer]

(Oh noes, my name is mess-spelled, too...)

That aside, looking good.

Excellent work. You deserve 5 stars.

Wow!! What a professional looking User Guide. The "reflection" images really add to the wow factor.

I'm new to both my Canon S5 & CHDK and this user guide is simply wonderful.

Thanks to everyone that contributed to making it & of course making CHDK to begin with. Your hard work is greatly appreciated.

To PhyrePhox and Jucifer,
A million apologies for those spelling mistakes of your names, there's a lot of proofreading to do in documents like that, but for fellow member's names to be misspelt  it's a bit of a sin, so a big sorry for that,
I will wait for a few days or more for more mistakes to show up, and then make some corrections.

CHDK being a collaborative effort (and all), it would be nice to get every contributor/participant listed. I don't have a complete list of contributors, but here are some names, that could be added to the acknowledgements-section (mainly from the ancient collab-thread, in no particular order, hopefully spelled right):

DataGhost, reyalp, Hacki, whim, Velo, fbonomi, cyril42e, wontolla, toinech, fudgey, msl, hiker_jon, whoever, bperrybap, auj, Bg~, m2tk, fantomas, Microfunguy, Masuji SUTO, chdkj, mweerden, Yarvieh, quietschi, PlasmaHH, MrSpoon

I've haven't been following all the porting of new cams and stuff, but I bet there are a lot of names out there, that should be mentioned.


Dear reader. If you know more names that should be credited, please speak up.


Credit where it's due.

Awsome! Thanks for all your work an0n.

I took the liberty of posting the link in the Canon S5 users forum.

I'm sure many people will find it very useful. I remember one or two users mentioned that Albest 50 manual was way out of date!

[whim]

Thanks, an0n !

Looks like an excellent manual !

Hi, great work.

Though I thank you for the mention in the guide, it's kind of unfair to say I am a developer (I'm not), I just made this forum available for you guys and gals.

Cheers

Thanks, I'm sure everyone would say that the forum is a very important part of the development.

Wow, great job by everyone who put this together!

Hi,
 I'm a first timer here so please be gentle......
 I have an IXUS 750 with software release GM:100.H but I cant find a corresponding CHDK.
 Can I use the 1.00G version that is posted or will that not work with my camera ?

[an0n]

Hi, au_rick,

You might get some responses here: http://chdk.setepontos.com/index.php/topic,1529.0.html

Good luck.

My thanks goes to all the people who have worked hard to produce such a great user manual and to those who have produced the CHDK firmware.

Thanks again, keep up the great work
