No, all documentation would move into a new branch. The
turbine documentation is our website.
Three reasons:
1. I would like to be able to use whatever tools, scripts
for building the docs without worrying about bloating
the base turbine. I'm using StyleBook, which requires
Xalan, and I want to write some python scripts to
make a skin maker.
2. I have found someone who take care of the turbine
docs. Though he is technially proficient he isn't
a programmer (which is good for the docs!) and I
think it would be best to keep him out of the
base turbine. He knows someone who is interested
in helping out. So if we actually get a couple
non-programmers doing docs then it's probably
best to keep them out of the main branch.
3. Sometime this week the TDK will be finished, and
it will combine turbine, tomcat, and all the docs.
So I don't think it matters if the docs and
base turbine are separated, because they will
be recombined in the TDK which, hopefully will
become the first thing that potential turbine
developers will see.
What's the policy anyway for going ahead with
something? How many votes do I need? Something
to add to the docs!
