I think the policy of only having key parts of the documentation on the Wiki
is totally unsatisfactory for many users.
In March the issue was raised in this forum, but Chris replied that he did
not want duplication. Well if you cannot access the web, or for some reason
web access is very slow then it is essential to have some local copies. The
previous solution of having Project Manager, Grid and Plot docs in the User
Documentation was fine. In any case, in my experience, accessing them via
the Wiki takes much longer than the older solution - especially in the case
where one needs to follow through a range of pages.
I have had several occasions over the recent past where I wanted to make
reference to the docs, but have had no means of obtaining it. It is
extremely frustrating to be working on something where a simple reference to
the docs may help, but they are completely unaccessible.
Can someone please design a simple way of downloading them and making them
accessible locally? If necessary, could the JAL tools be expanded to cover
these docs as well?
