Yup, good solution... I like it :-) As a first attempt at it, I fixed up the dates on this page: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Wiki_Books using the suggested format. Looks OK to me. > Clayton may correct me on this, but I believe that this page, and all > the associated PDF files, are on our list for migration to the wiki, as > part of a general rationalisation of the way documentation is provided. > That is, the user guides, like the developers' guides, will then be > available in downloadable form through the wiki... even though (at least > for the immediate future) the source docs for the UGs will continue to > be ODT files residing on the OOoAuthors website, with the the wiki > version derived from the ODT version instead of the other way around as > for the developers' guides. It is definitely easier to maintain the content via a Wiki page vs the older html page style (requiring CVS access etc.) We can upload the ODTs and PDFs to the Wiki, and/or upload them to the OOoAuthors repository (is there one?), and then link them via a master doc page - the result is the same - a single page listing downloadable docs for an OOo release family. We can do the same from the main Documentation page.. instead of a link to an html page listing the available docs, I can change that to a link to the Wiki page (once it's in place) showing the same info.
