"How often does that happen anyway?" Often. What's comfortable for your use case is not the same as what everyone else is doing or experiencing. I prefer to have docs maintained under Git, offline accessible, in an open format that Emacs is able to edit. That could be Markdown, LaTeX, TeXinfo, or any of the other free formats available. I can't think of even one advantage Google Docs has to offer me, given the way I work on software projects: It's not offline accessible, it uses its own UI, it puts me in the browser for editing, and I can't use Git to examine history. I might as well be editing a Microsoft Word document in a network mounted folder, as work sometimes makes me do. And all for what, because you say it will attract more contributors to the documentation effort? I wouldn't take it on your word against those negatives, while also losing the positives (for me) of the Markdown/Texinfo approach. -- John Wiegley GPG fingerprint = 4710 CF98 AF9B 327B B80F http://newartisans.com 60E1 46C4 BD1A 7AC1 4BA2 -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
