I hope QGIS has html user manual aside from pdf manual. It offers quick and easy access to what you need rather than downloading the whole pdf which is quite big (e.g. 2 Mb) because of the screenshots and figures. If you are user in the developing countries or with a slow internet connection you don't want to download this pdf manuals if it is bigger than 1 Mb.
An html version of the latex manual is on my ToDo-list but it isn't as simple as I expected. A latex version without any figures can be compiled easily if needed.
Html / website user manual promotes / offers visibility of the project as well for example uDig has friendly manuals. Aside from it, it is harder to read pdf manual when the manual has more than 10 pages.
The embedded pdf bookmarks are a killer feature, that and being able to drop a pdf on a usb key with the certitude that my technicians will be able to open it.
Probably we should consider Wiki Book /Wiki for QGIS, so users can contribute as well. The QGIS plugins need documentation.
I'm all for it, the easiness of the contribution would be a definite and mediawiki (at least the one used by osgeo.org) allows to print a pdf.
But I'll not be the one doing the port :p _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
