More questions...
Did not the various discussions and consensus to move to BoostBook docs
imply a consent to be at the mercy of the BoostBook style?
If not, do we want to get that consensus now?
Those who are using BoostBook already imply acceptance of its
L&F. That's quite significant, as it stands today. From the
moment it took off from Doug's initial work, then the various
discussions, on and off, then QuickBook, etc. It's
already taken many man-hours of work from us all. That is
why I am so adamant to not let it go and be replaced, instead
evolve it, incrementally, with proper consultation.
If there's no chance of getting such an agreement; Why should we bother
with presenting the docs on the website at all?
That's my apprehension all along. It can't simply be a majority
vote. All authors must agree. We can't realistically do that
overnight. Again, it's evolution, not revolution.
Do we want to live with presenting the docs in the website with the
authors style? And hence have limited potential functionality, i.e. no
web notes.
IMO, there's no other way at this point in time. Have you
ever wondered why the W3C docs do not have a common L&F after
all the years, for example?
What questions do we need to ask the general Boost audience? It's
somewhat pointless to just ask a blind "What do you want us to do?" type
of question to hundreds of people.
I think the main focus should not be the general Boost audience,
but the current authors of the docs who have control over them.
