Yeah, SO isn't a wiki. It is a Q&A forum where answers can be voted up/down. The theory being that helpful answers will bubble to the top of the replies so you don't have to read through everything.
I need to look into DocBook more. I am also interested in the ability to output EPUB with it. I think in the next couple years e-readers (and/or tablets) are going to be much more popular and it would be good to have a format designed for those devices so people can carry the docs around to read about Cayenne. mrg On Mon, May 9, 2011 at 11:38 AM, Andrus Adamchik <[email protected]> wrote: > Yeah I am semi-following that discussion.
