I may be about to use netgraph at work so I might be able to help with this. The things that I find to be missing in the current netgraph documentation are: 1) Developers Guide How do I write new nodes? Walk through a non trivial node step by step. 2) Updated overall use guide I've found a few docs on netgraph on the net, but I bet most people are still looking at Archie Cobb's old document and it's out of date. 3) Recipes Sure, a fine idea, but it's not the first thing I need.
