[ros-users] MoveIt!: A New Year, A New Website, A New Movie

[Javier V Gómez]

Hi Sachin,

Thank you for your response.

The correct link 
was http://moveit.ros.org/wiki/Capabilities#Environment_Representation So I 
meant the Environment Representation Cabaility. This is just an example. I 
have not navigated too much into the new documentation but I could not find 
this one, more concretely the RViz 
plugin: http://moveit.ros.org/wiki/Environment_Representation/Rviz

Another example is that the new documentation refers to the old wiki for 
robot simulation: http://moveit.ros.org/wiki/PR2/Gazebo/Quick_Start and 
this is a point I am very interested in.

I will keep reporting if I find other missing points I consider important.

As an starting userin MoveIt!, my feeling is that the new documentation is 
much more focused on working with the API than just using MoveIt! from 
already built packages. I insist this is just my feeling, and I do not know 
if it will be the same for others.

I am not saying that it is better/worse. I just mean that in my opinion it 
looks harder for beginners to get into the feeling of MoveIt!.

Anyway, you guys are doing a very impressive job!

Best regards!

Javier
