Regarding the tutorial found at http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/ , I noticed some areas of the site that are under contruction or awaiting examples. I'm willing to help fill in those blanks. Will simple patches work for the text? I know version 7 is coming out soon; is there a different site I should contribute to?

The answer to this has become its own special 'sticky' topic for the "developers" forum.

I know version 7 is coming out soon;
At the moment I have not forked IMv6 Examples into IMv7 Examples

When I do get to that point I will probably start with the basics page, re-write the start for the IMv7 Shell API changes, and add a completely separate section on "magick scripting" (the new command is called "magick"), which is reading the CLI options as a 'script', 'file', or pipeline.

if you want to look ahead, and/or comment look at the IMv7 Scripting Goals Document
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/bugs/I ... ipting.txt

Also see Various proposals (not completely settled) on more Global use of 'percent escapes' in option arguments
