That's Great !!
If you'd like volunteers to proofread the finished version, I'd be glad to help with that.
Would you plan to release a Chinese version? I am glad to be a volunteer translate for that.
My main request is the addition of an index, but I presume that was already on the to-do list.
the topic as how to define and use user defined functions / macros / procedure could have some more explanation / samples.
This might indeed be helpful, if the metafun manual is intended as a complete guide to both metapost and metafun (replacing the old metapost manual). My recollection is that the manual has very little (if any) on how to use suffix variables, and it would be nice to have a good overview of that somewhere other than the metafont (!) manual.
also a suggested way as how to handle and use the definition of multiple (different) graphics within a single file could be helpful. e.g. where to put the graphics definitions. how to re-use pieces of graphics for other images (like axis frames).
Agreed, although that's actually fairly simple (which is probably an argument _for_ including it, rather than against).
