Hi, I've created a lot of documentation for Trafodion using Asciidoc, which allows the project to include the documentation with the source. It's OK but also complicated when wanting to provide PDF versions of the manuals due to font issues and other things.
Talking with other contributors, there's a clear preference to use Apache OpenOffice for documentation. Beyond usability (and therefore more willingness to document), it also makes translation easier. We have lots and lots of documentation (http://trafodion.apache.org/documentation.html) and are trying to get tech writer contributors to engage, which makes word processor support more important. Has anyone used OpenOffice for documentation before? If so, how is it handled with source control etc? (OpenOffice files are really zip archives with multiple files in them.) Thoughts? -- Thanks, Gunnar *If you think you can you can, if you think you can't you're right.*
