I did not find a thread about the
Propeller 2 Developer Site
https://propeller.parallax.com/
and
https://parallax.com/product/propeller-2
for questions and remarks
so I thought I start one.

I don't know how those pages are maintained so my first observations go here:

TAQOZ / Tachyon / Forth not listed in the software section
but should definitely be there !!

Logic Analyzer

Quickly looking I could only find the Tachyon V4 version - in Peters P2 Dropbox
but I thought @"Peter Jakacki" has been talking about it for TAQOZ

TAQOZ is mentioned twice on the 1st page: documentation and firmware section
several times on the software page

And you can submit any changes you like using the last link on the page

I think this is the section that MJB is talking about:

Language Tools (Compiler & Interpreter)
fastspin - P1 and P2 Spin, BASIC and C compiler by Eric R. Smith
P1 Spin interpreter for P2 - by cluso99
P1 Spin interpreter for P2 - by Dave Hein
p2gcc, p2asm & loadp2 - P2 C compiler/assembler/linker/loader by Dave Hein
Catalina - P1 and P2 C Compiler/linker by Ross Higson
MicroPython - P2 microPython implementation by Eric R. Smith
pyLoader - P2 binary loader written in python by ozpropdev

Although TAQOZ is mentioned in firmware, that is only the tiny cut-down version that fits in ROM whereas the full-blown TAQOZ (RELOADED) is the version that gets loaded into RAM just like MicroPython but doesn't get mentioned there.

Right, agree should be added
