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.
Yes, I wasn't suggesting that SO replaces everything that a wiki does. I also don't believe that it replaces a user mailing list. But certain things (like the recent question about null dates in mysql) would be well suited to having greater visibility. And our wiki doesn't get much love from our users. Part of that could be about the difficulty of getting access, and part about the difficulty of knowing where to put things. A good FAQ should be fairly flat (unstructured), have easy to use tagging, a good search, and take less than 5 minutes to create a new account and post an answer.
I need to look into DocBook more.
Please run the maven goals I created and see how it works for you. Then if you want lots of reading, the Sage Hill website has the best documentation available. And the best tool to play with editing the source is Oxygen/Author. Ari -- --------------------------> Aristedes Maniatis GPG fingerprint CBFB 84B4 738D 4E87 5E5C 5EFA EF6A 7D2E 3E49 102A
