To Novell: please allow the community to write docs, that will be
included in the distro for offline use (in RPM package, HTML format).
as a very lon time linudoc contributor, I know quite well
the problem, but have no simple solution :-(
A goos documentation have to be well organised/structured
and this is simply not the ordinary way of thinking of most
people.
Wikipedia IS a very good information source, but not so well
organised (and can't be better, probably).
SuSE manuals used to be very good, thanks to a very good
writing team (and probably very expensive too).
The goal should be to have a much bigger (with tranlations)
documentation with nearly the same money. I do not have a
solution. CVS or SVN are of course a good step forward.
writing and translating doc is a very hard work, and even
more as a voluntary work - I myself took some vacation from
suse documentation for a month now, exausted by 6 month of
continuous work.
the truth is that documentation should be written 3 month
ahead of the final product (for translating and printing
delays) and this is quite impossible if we always wan to
freeze the distro at the last minute
