Hey All,
froud and I had a lively discussion today on IRC regarding future
directions for the doc team.
I content that we should to the wiki as the primary source for all documents.
There are 2 primary reasons for it:
1. Low barrier to entry to new people
2. Fast changes
Now, for this to happen, we need some pieces:
1. We need to choose a ship format. I say either PDF[1] or HTML
2. A good converter from HTML --> PDF
3. The wiki needs some major work on the backend
-Remove parenting
-Standardize on one markup (I propose the Wikipedia one, as it is
fairly easy and becoming a standard)
-Watchlists
-Better history
[1] - I say PDF as evince (http://www.gnome.org/projects/evince/) is
looking very cool. Also poppler is cool as well (pdf backend -
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xdg/2005-February/005951.html)
Now rip me to shreds,
Corey
