Well, I would love to see online editing of docbook, but even without being pessimistic, I don't think it is for this summer. There was a summer of code project on this last year also (samara), but the thing seemed to hit a wall at the end of the summer. I don't see the python scripts as being much work, the fiddly bits are already sorted in other scripts I've written... <snip> > > Well, this seems somewhat similar to what we had > > already : an index that > > writers would add the content to, except that > > currently we don't have > > the actual index, but a new index that represents > > how things should be > > after reorganisation (at least that is the theory, I > > suppose). > > Yeah... > the Desktop User Guide is such a monster of a thing > that it hurts my head to think of having two copies of > it on the wiki AND cvs. > (An aside to Shaun if he reads this: Project Mallard! > we need to dice the monster up into topic-sized > chunks!) > > But it looks like it could work VERY nicely with > something small like the games manuals. Yes, it is somewhat testicular, I thought if we put it on just one page, or at worst <10 pages with major sections, it shouldn't be too hard to manage... As long as no too major changes are made. <sneep> Love, Karderio _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
