Support threads here in development might be a good idea.

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 A lot of the tutorials and HOW-TO docs are out of date.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/.
