Subject: [ros-users] tf2 doc and tutorials broken or misleading
Hello

I'm migrating to tf2. I find that there seems to be many issues with the
doc.

For instance the code on the tutorial page on how to write a broadcaster
is pointing to an invalid cturtle svn adress:
http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Writing%20a%20tf2%20broadcaster%20%28C%2B%2B%29

Also, the tutorial on migrating the tf broadcaster to tf2 was
instructing to use tf2::transform_broadcaster which does not exist, one
must use tf2_ros::transform_broadcaster instead.
http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Migration/TransformBroadcaster (I
fixed it already).

Similarly, here
http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Adding%20a%20frame%20%28C%2B%2B%29, in
section 4.1, the code uses tf2 namespace instead of tf2_ros. Worst: the
broadcaster is sending tf2::StampedTransform, where as the sendTransform
function accepts geometry_msgs::TransformStamped instead.

All in all, it makes the migration difficult.
