I'll see what I can do to help with this.
One of the things that I noticed (quite early, fortunately) is that the
documentation in /usr/share/tqt3/doc/html/ appears to be the old Qt docs,
superficially updated by globally changing all of the 'Qt's to 'TQt',
while not fixing pointers to old Qt external references, many of which
don't seem to work any more; e.g., the link on theHow to Learn TQt page to
'the official TQt book, C++ GUI Programming with TQt 3 (ISBN
0-13-124072-2)', which points
to an old QT3 book, and the links to the TrollTech website. This makes me
wonder how much of the content is actually for the old non-TQt code?
I guess no one has the time to go through it and make it right. I also think
it was passed through a script to update the code related stuff like the
names of the classes that have been already moved to tqt naming convention,
but obviously the underlaying stuff like links is not perfect.
However, if I may share my experience, the documentation is very useful per
se - much of it is in the header files anyway and when you know a bit of Qt
it is easy to understand what needs to be done. You have a lot of working
code as an example as well.
The TrollTech website seems to be a dead end - last time I visited it via
the documentation. I now maintain a local copy of most of the
documentation, via the doc packages.
I must also admit it is hard to find your way around. Finally I am just
asking here in the newsgroup and usually someone answers (Michele or
Slavek).
