Ben,
I am new to documentation newsgroup. I have been looking to write some
OSS documentation for a while but never stayed on track to get started
with any. Maybe I could get with Hakan and we could get the ball rolling
on your ideas. Sourceforge might be a great place to get this up as the
HTML pages as well as plain text could be kept there and people could
contribute snippetts at a time until it is done as well as just drop in
and critique what is there. Starting to use Mozilla .7 I had a ton of
questions just getting it installed and useable. I'll bet someone seeing
it for the first time might give up and this documentation you suggested
would help bring new users onboard.
Also, as an introduction what is your involvement in the DOC project. I
recognize Dawns name from a later thread.
