Hi Folks It looks like there's strong support for documentation in Latex, hosted in github, with website generated from it when you commit. Daniel's suggestion of using github/gollum/mediawiki is also something well worth investigating.
Whilst we investigate conversion options though, I need to revamp the existing documentation, doing some reorganising and pruning, and improving the 'getting started' guides. For project-related reasons this has to be done for the end of the month, and also there's been a lot of recent changes which have not been fully reflected in the documentation. To this end, I've created a fresh version of the Moses documentation in the usual place, and backed up the old one to http://www.statmt.org/moses.old/. Ideally, you shouldn't notice any difference in the new Moses documentation (until I start making changes) but please let me know if there are any broken links or missing pages. I've also severed the link between moses and mosesdev, so now if you want to edit the Mose documentation, use the link at the bottom right, with the same password as before. mosesdev is still there, but it will be decommissioned. (If you don't know what mosesdev is, then just ignore this paragraph), cheers - Barry On Tuesday 10 April 2012 13:51:34 Barry Haddow wrote: > 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.
