Still, as I mentioned, it would introduced problems if we move documentation forth and back from wikis to other formats, and also with mixing content from older documentation. I still don't buy the "cumbersome" argument, I don't think we use it the controversial parts like invariant section etc - do we? Trying to to relicense the existing documentation from FDL to FDL+CC as a start would be the best thing, but I think it would be complicated. -- Luigi
