One quick follow up on this.
I have following the work / discussion about using the wiki for
documentation.
The use of the new template file for the updated TOC.
The use of tools for pushing a Writer file to the wiki.
In fact I have already made one attempt at the former - with mixed, but
I believe satisfactory, results. One of the issues however, IMO, is
re-synching the pages to any changes in the document, since the pages
can not be directly deleted form the wiki it is a limiting factor.
Also, I am very much leaning towards the wiki page - simply for the time
issue regarding the upcoming release. The fact is the pre-release
package is already garnering active use and specific questions coming
into the user forum at an increasing rate.
