[AstroPy] Moving Ahead with Raw Image Conversion

[Wayne Watson]

Thanks. I see they have a tutorial. I wish it were in pdf format. I like 
to read from paper. It looks like the tutorial is probably painless, 
maybe a 30 min read. If I get desperate, I could convert it to a pdf 
with Acrobat. :-)

I see this intriguing comment, "In addition, on this webpage, you can 
improve the docs!" There is mention that some of the docs are out of 
date. That's ripe for a soap box comment from me about the general 
documentation on the web. It seems writing and improving code is far 
more important than keeping documentation up to date. In some commercial 
products they seem driven by keeping up with the competition, expecting 
the user to ferret out new features via program Help. It happens in the 
non-commercial world too, but for different reasons. OK, I'll stop now. :-)
