Hi Steven,

I totally agree. Actually the user's guide cookbook was the first, but the user's guide was a static docbook document then. We thus continued adding to the cookbook by using the wiki. Many months (years) later, Emmanuel converted and imported the user's guide into the wiki. However the cookbooks were never merged. I've been kinda waiting for someone to step up on do it ... so, by all means ... go right ahead ;-)

Take care and thanks a lot for all your documentation contributions,

Geert

There is a section called "Cookbook" in the user's guide with assorted information on various topics. There is a completely separate section called "Cook Book" on the Wiki with assorted information on various topics. Ideally they would just be one section with all the information from both of the existing sections since a new user has no way of knowing whether a given feature was part of RIFE's early feature set (and is thus in the user's guide cookbook) or a later addition (in the Wiki's cookbook). When I was first getting started I found myself searching through both a lot.

Barring a merger, maybe one of the two cookbooks should be called something different so we can tell users to look in the cookbook under "XYZ" and it'll be clear where they should go.

Is either one of those a bad idea? Since it's a structural change to the Wiki I don't want to just dive into it without a sanity check. But it seems like it should be simple to stick all of one cookbook's pages into the other one.
