I disagree that the previous solution was fine. In the old days, user documentation was often incomplete and out of date. Updates from the community had to be routed through us, and wait for the next release before becoming available to all. The script library and accompanying documentation are areas where the community can contribute directly to the system. The wiki, JAL and the SVN repositories allow everyone to do this without involving us. I think this works much better than before. What Oleg has done for Plot should be adequate for other major parts of the system. However, it would be nice to be able to snapshot the entire wiki for offline use - it is an open question on how best to do this.
I agree the old situation was not perfect. The contributions of the user community are having a great impact and have the potential to really expand the facilities available to all.
Oleg's solution for Plot is great. The ability to snapshot the entire Wiki for offline use would be another good step. Thanks for the references.
