I think putting it as a special branch of github is a good idea.
Anything where other people can add there own stuff to the docs is cool.
another thing we might want is to be able to let people comment on a
particular section. eg. suggested changes/queries. It might also move
some of the newbie questions away from the mailing list
there's just the small matter of cutting & pasting everything from the
current docs...

Barry,
What about making a special branch in the git repo for documentation?
That way anyone with access to the git repo could easily add to the
documentation as needed.
The nightly build could just check out that branch and compile it from
whatever format you want people to edit it in (presumably latex or
possibly docbook) into pdf (and possibly also html).
Cheers,
Lane

Hi Folks
I'm going to be spending some time over the next couple of weeks
improving the
Moses documentation (http://www.statmt.org/moses/), with the aim
of making the
Moses manual more up-to-date and useful.
I'd therefore like to know if anyone has any comments or
corrections for the
existing documentation, or suggestions on how to improve it. If
you do, then
please either mail me directly, or mail this list if you think
it's more
approriate.
I'd also be interested to hear your suggestions as to how to
enable more
people to contribute to the documentation. The Moses documentation is
currently hosted on PmWiki, with password-enabled editing, and the
manual is
produced nightly by converting the wiki to latex and compiling it
to pdf.
However there might be other systems which would make it easier
for anyone to
sign up and contribute,
thanks for your help!
cheers - Barry
