But a non-techie does not work with such tools. Actually even SFTP would already be challenging. That's why wikis and other CMS should be used in the mid-term. > > Also keep in mind that documentation should mainly be available in the > documentation both published on the website as well as being available > online on a clerezza instance. So the process should take this into account. Agree with that, I think I'm not writing technical documentation, but rather the content around that, be it use cases, solutions that already use Clerezza, acknowledgments, non-tech summaries etc. I personally doubt that this type of information is needed in a Clerezza instance. > As mentioned in an earlier mauil to the subject, you're also welcome to > raise issues against the current content, this issues may be accompanied by > a patch but may also just describe the typo in the text.

If one would like to build the page using different styling options etc. you need whether a cms or simple html/css/javascript structure you can modify in a text editor or Dreamweaver. If Henry and co. would like to push Clerezza out to invite developers and advanced users to use it, we have to talk their language. And the content should be actually written by people that understands their needs. That's the beauty of a open source community, different people with different backgrounds and skills can share their time and experience for a greater good. But hey, if you don't need us and write everything yourself, bon. No problem. But if you need us you have to compromise. > Reto
