Again Greg, that's 30 seconds of someone else's time. But it's really more than that, since it would also have to be someone's responsibility to keep said PDF updated with the Cookbook, which changes often, sometimes hourly. Not to mention that it exists in a dozen languages. So that's creating an uploading 12 PDFs anywhere from once a week to once a day. Gets to be over 30 seconds pretty quickly.
But that ignores the larger problem, which is this: by continually pressing the issue, you're essentially trying to take your own problem and make it someone else's. This is not cool. Now the beauty of Open Source, that I've found, is that when you have a problem, rather than trying to get someone else to fix it for you, you fix it for yourself. Not only for yourself, but for everyone. So Greg, you've now been presented with an opportunity, and thank God there is more than one way to convert HTML to PDF (html2pdf anyone?). Once you are able to solve this problem for yourself, you could not only share the benefits with everyone, you could even automate it so that we never have to solve this problem again. I know everyone on the team would be very grateful, especially John. Just my two pennies. Think about it. On Mar 9, 8:51 am, Greg Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > with add due respect, Chris..
