If you've have done something cool using this library then it would be great if you wrote me about it at kallaspriit@gmail.com. Perhaps it could event be added as a demo-tutorial on the demos page. Patches and improvements of the core library are also welcome.

Most of the library's functionality is covered with examples that show it at work. These also serve as a tutorial on how to use different features and are thoughrally commented.
