I think, that good way of maintaining user manual is to create another project on dbforms CVS in docbook format... Yes, I appreciate, that this solution includes some redundant work with transforming existing manual to docbook format, but advantages, possible extensibility and variability of output from docbook format (via user defined XSLT sheets) overwhelm possible disadvantages... > I think Philip has done a good job maintaining the > manual until he left for a limited time and I would have > a bad feeling if we do something dramatic with it. > > I would suggest to : > > - keep current format > - include new chapters (JS calendar, searching, foreign keys,..) > - carefully add corrections where needed > Personal note: It was little bit annoying, that user guide was available only as a m$ word document... (i'm using linux, there is no copy of that 'operating' system from m$ on my computer, so reading and especially printing user guide was difficult...
