I'm no MediaWiki user but I googled around for ways to convert PDF files to MediaWiki's format. What is the original file format of the manual?

Mmh, maybe I'm poking my nose in bound territory and things are just fine as they are for most. I do think though that a wiki would be much better than scattered scripts, guides, videos and blog posts. I'd be willing to eventually collaborate — I don't know how the hosting and maintenance of qsapp works either. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quicksilver" group.
