I'd like both: a wiki to manage the website (I'm OK with CLAs) and a sandbox where people can do whatever they want.
I'd like the website to be decoupled from the current documentation so it's possible to quickly update things like news, download, etc. And I like the fact that documentation is managed together with the source-code and that it can produce good-looking HTML, and PDF documents. It would be good to have documentation for various Buildr versions on the website at some point. alex On Mon, Aug 18, 2008 at 12:04 PM, Assaf Arkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I did some reading over the weekend [1], and want to add a bit of > context.
