Old corporate style is official and looks nice (use XML-related format or whatever), and can be edited with your favorite editor, but can't be transferred easily to the wiki, where most docs should reside IMHO. At the very least, it draws people to the wiki.
New community style is to write the doc on the wiki. Problem is editing a large document in a web browser, no syntax highlighting, etc. Does anyone know of an editor for wiki markup? Also, the document is then not easily published elsewhere. Is there an easy way to convert wiki markup to pure HTML, or PDF, or some other publishing format?
This is something that should be sorted out, as doc writing is an amazing source of free labour, and allows not-so-technical people to help out too.
