Hi Clayton, It sounds sounds like your software does some cool stuff. I find doing how-to videos of the software I build helps users understand why the software is useful to them and it also decreases the barrier to entry because it's no longer unfamiliar territory. I'd love to see a video of how to use this myself as I might use if for my garden this spring! If you need any help figuring out how to do a screencast let me know, I'd be happy to help out. -RJ

As with many FOSS projects, my focus is on creating it and wrangling bugs. What little documentation exists is quite old and starting to be somewhat incorrect. I did just post a screencast on how to update a crop plan from one season to the next. I would welcome more contributions of documentation and/or screencasts. Be in touch if you're interested in helping; I would love it!

Your Crop Planning Software is starting to look pretty useful. One problem is we have not been able to enter or change "plant date, transplant date and harvest date." ideas? thanks in advance.
