I considered having two sets of files, but decided that it was cumbersome and non-optimal. Personally, until we figure out a better, more permanent workflow, my proposal would be that we just keep one file set, and that users just get the latest version on the wiki... it's "quick and dirty", I know, but, IMHO, it's a good interim solution that users get our currently-best offering of content...

If no-one has any better proposals than the above, Jeremy, may I suggest that you please write this up briefly in a relevant page of our wiki, and make the necessary changes? I'm working on the site and don't have time or focus right now... (otherwise, if you don't have time, I can do it ASAP - just after Christmas, maybe) Once we get this roughly into shape, I will post back with suggestions, get you guys' reactions, and then reorganize/move pages around into a clean, logically-named tree structure (when I finish with the site, and if someone has not beaten me to it).
