We have provided the Presto Developers Manual here primarily to explain how Presto works to web developers, web design firms, and prospective customers, and to give a sense of its capabilities.

Currently Communicopia and Learning Point are not actively engaging other web development firms to do Presto installations or custom development within the Presto framework.  The reason is that the technical documentation is not at a sufficient level to make 3rd party development easy.  We aim to have stand-alone developer documentation by the end of 2005.
