I've been working with the prototype BLFS Wiki that Jeremy set up.

I put an outline of the book on the wiki and have created a test version
of the book at on anduin at
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/BlfsNotes

Specifically, I've added a section at the bottom of the page:

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/~bdubbs/blfs-book/postlfs/config.html#postlfs-config-bootdisk

(sorry about the long url)

If you click on the link in the User Notes section, it takes you to the
wiki page.

All book changes have been made to my sandbox only.  Nothing has been
committed.

I'm looking for feedback.  The following are the issues as I see them
right now:

1.  The section in the book is formatted as a <sect2>.  I'm not sure
this has the proper appearance.

2.  I've modified (with Manuel's guidance) the stylesheets so that the
added section only appears in the html output.  It is suppresed in the
pdf version of the book.  Is this a good idea?

3.  The wiki requires a login to update the page.  How do we handle this?

Do we allow anonymous logins?  My thought is no.

Do we provide a 'create login account' capability?  If so, I'd like to
see the ability to demand a valid email address similar to mailman.

Do we manually create login accounts?  This seems like s lot of work and
would inhibit some users.

What permissions do we provide non-editors?  The available wiki
permissions are:

WIKI_VIEW       View existing wiki pages
WIKI_CREATE     Create new wiki pages
WIKI_MODIFY     Change wiki pages
WIKI_DELETE     Delete wiki pages and attachments
WIKI_ADMIN      All WIKI_* permissions, plus the management of readonly pages.

My initial thought here is WIKI_VIEW, WIKI_CREATE, and WIKI_MODIFY.
Some pages, of course would be marked as read only.

Comments?
