Hi Barry,
It is a significative task to update the existing Moses manual. I think more
people can help during the task with some open source projects.
Recently, I have been developing my own webpage. In my point of view, maybe
collectiong the suggestions from many users (maybe focus on the professional
)is a good method.
One assumption is:
In a blog system, the admin distribute one topic of the Moses, for
instance, Moses introduction, registered users can leave some messages in the
comment area. Finally, the best one will be adapted or some of the comments
will be treated as an reference. In this way, many Moses topics will be edited
by many "writers" in a not long time.
Of cource, the wrting stye or the format can be provided firstly.
Two of the systems you can refer to: b2evolution (http://b2evolution.net/)
and LifeType (http://lifetype.net/).

主题: Re: [Moses-support] Moses documentation
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
