If you have any suggestions please open a ticket at https://github.com/jesseeichar/scala-io/issues
I welcome patches, bug reports and suggestions for this documentation or for the libraries themselves.
The forum for discussions is the scala-incubator users group (at least for now) http://groups.google.com/group/scala-incubator
If you are interested at looking at the code, you are welcome to take a look at: https://github.com/jesseeichar/scala-io
