Hi Greg, You want a combination of DocBook and Wiki. DocBook is great. It is geared towards technical writing, and it can produce professional PDF output that is ready for the printer. However. It sucks when you want to collaborate with folks who don't grok DocBook (and it does take a little time to ramp up). This is where "modern" Wikis rule. You get WYSIWYG editing, revision control (with visual diffs -- yay), CMS features, and the all-important instant gratification. There is a Google Summer of Code project [1] that is looking to bridge the two worlds. The idea is that you can get "lossless" conversion between Wiki and DocBook formatting and you can "tag" together any number of wiki pages and collect them into a proper DocBook document. Once you have something in DocBook you can publish it in a *lot* of formats. I think this has a lot of promise. The only downside I see is the use of the MoinMoin wiki itself. It is not my favorite, but a lot of other seem to like it though, so YMMV. --Larry [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoinDocBookProject _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
