Ah, there is where a bit of the "issue" comes in.. the history of the docs prior to Wiki-fying them can have a significant impact on the way things are handled. I missed/forgot that bit at the start of the thread. If we assume a separate path for these docs, are they maintained as totally independent docs? For the Dev Guide, Basic Guide, and Admin Guide, the process I've outlined in my previous email is working reasonably well given the restrictions of the Wiki.
