That would really be great if we could get the wiki updated. I believe Jos Juice currently is the wiki admin and controls all of the major changes. In fact what I had in mind for the syscalls page was an organization system similar to wikiti.brandonw.net so that full documentation could be provided for each call. Right now the only syscall documentation is just copied from the .chm and is geared more towards asm coders and provides little insight to those who code in C. What we'll need in the discussion is an explanation of what each call does exactly, what all the args do, the use of the return value, ram locations destroyed, and how to effectively use it in a program.

But then again we aren't as reliant on syscalls for the Prizm as we were on the 83+. So far the only reason why I use a syscall is to draw the screen or depending on the program draw text. But they will become more important in the future as we start experimenting with some of the hardware such as the usb.
