EDM/2 Wiki Updates - (include Date here)
EDM/2 is the premier site to find OS/2 software development information.
There haven't been EDM/2 news posted to the public in a long time, but the work to update the wiki continues. Since the last post news (September 2013) there had been a lot of clean up work on the articles and content that has been updated.
Here it is a quick summary of the latest changed on the Wiki.

Books and Tutorials
We did some rearragament on the past and generated this new article with OS/2 related Development documentation.
Extra updates
There had been also an important effort to continue with "The OS/2 API Project" and consolidate more information about the OS/2 native API and also third party libraries.
I want to thank all the authors that allowed their articles and documentation to be published on the EDM/2 wiki.
