Where can it be better elaborated?
Have I missed some important points (after all I've only been scripting XBMC/Python for 2 weeks!)
I dunno if you're still working on it (It hasn't been updated for 4 months) but I'd like to see some more pictures (screenshots and diagrams).
If people are anything like me they like to skip over the bulky text (and short one-liners too) and go straight to the pictures and screenshots.
But great work, I can see you've put a lot of effort in, I will find it useful!

In a sense I'm waiting to see what XBMC will do with it. At moment it languishes in the bug tracker. But thanks for your feedback. I'll have a think about pictures if it is to go any further.

I've created a PDF version of the document for easy download. It is at

nice one mate
wonder if it shouldnt go on wiki as well, most of that is somewhat on there already but scattered all around.

Hi Amet
As you say, it would be better on the wiki. The problem is twofold
1/ I just don't have the time to transcribe it to wiki format - Anyone out that wants to do it, please feel free ! I'm currently being pulled back into the Xoops CMS project and I have just started a new XBMC mod to provide the facility of dvd::rip inside XBMC (cus I'm fed up of having to use a separate process to do the job. (edit: just found http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=52615 so I'll try and help out there instead.)
2/ Wiki is a bit of a mess at the moment (imho.) You are right, a lot of this stuff is already there, but you really have to dig around for it. But if you recall, I had to ask a lot of questions around the devs to get some stuff (you helped with this if you recall ;-) ). Wiki docs for devs really needs a good clean out/refactor. Again, I'd do it myself but for the time involved. If someone wanted to bring together what I and others have done, prune down the wiki tree and get this stuff 'in one place', that would be a great contribution to the project. If you remember, I wrote the doc in the first place 'cus I couldn't find what I needed easily in one place.
Cheers
A

Few links on passion-XBMC that you could find useful if you start Addon development (translated in english):
- Code Snippet
- Official XBMC documentation pretty up to date thanks to Frost

Got bored and made this guide
[GUIDE] HOW TO ADD A LOGIN FUNCTION TO YOUR ADDON
its a tutorial for a http login method that fills out the username + password forms on a webpage, sends a login request and saves the cookie that is returned.
also contains a simple url opener that handles cookies.
should work for most sites.

more boredom has also inspired me to make a proper python interface for google's JSON api.
the search can be pumped in such a way as to easily provide a very good search function for any site.
it returns unicode and all that

I was thinking the links in my signature might be relevant here.

Awesome
Support threads here in development might be a good idea.
Thanks for for taking the time to make modules.

I would love to help with this effort. I'm a total n00b at this stuff and am also finding it difficult to find the relevant information. A lot of the tutorials and HOW-TO docs are out of date.
I'm particularly interested in learning to use the JSON-RPC system to get info from the database. One of the tutorials I saw (on the official wiki) said directly accessing the databases through sqlite, etc., is actively discouraged.
So if I make any headway in figuring this out, I'll help contribute to your new documentation. ;-)

New replacement of addons_xml_generator.py for repository owners. This adds the ability to automatically produce a compressed repository structure.

It seems this link should now be http://mirrors.xbmc.org/docs/python-docs/.
