What can we learn from this in prep for Apr 6-10th's doc sprint?? (http://j.mp/xomanual) Ideally! Not that we've yet reached the dream of all kids/users being developers too ;)

 Hi Simon,

 is this [1] the latest version of the Sugar docs? What is the current
 process for updates (e.g. the upcoming 0.96). Is there someone working on
 that end? There were questions here at the GNOME doc hackfest [2] what
 Sugar is doing for documentation and I am not sure if I am fully up to
 date.

 At the SugarCamp in Paris, I brievely mentioned readthedocs:

    http://readthedocs.org/

 Florent Pigout told me about this service, which looks quite
 nice.   Maybe the Sugar community could use something like this
 instead of FlossManuals?  FM may be suitable for end-users docs
 but not that much for developers docs.

 Best,

GNOME does use mallard [1] for their documentation in the docs (yelp).
The concept of "topic-oriented" documentation is nice, I think.
Furthermore using the same tools as GNOME could help in people doing
documentation in both projects. When people want to update the current
floss manuals they could maybe evaluate this first.

We could use mallard as well for API docs, see for example Tomeu's work
on documenting the Python API docs from introspection [2], the current
API documentation looks rather outdated [3]. Would be a nice project for
someone to work on it.

Regards,
   Simon
