We only have access to the guides as end products not as source. The originals are still held by IBM in DocBook format and are not distributed. That is why all new editing has been done in the HTML docs. Currently any updates are done there. If you want to contribute, please send updated HTML to me and I can review it and add it. As for updating to something else, the process would be way to time consuming without some type of compensation to follow through with.

Hi,

I was wondering why the user/program/reference/quick guides are only provided
in PDF, PS and HTML format, which are probably not the source formats of this
documentation.

What actually is the source format for these guides? LaTeX? XML? Or some odd word processor?

Would it be an idea to add a new directory to the CVS repository where the source
docs are kept for these guides, f.ex. guidebooks/

Of course, the guides as they are now are not bad at all! On the contrary, Among
Opensource projects, OpenDX probably has one of the best documentation.

However, present approach does not invite or allow people to add/suggest improvements
to the current documentation.

Regards,
Rob.
