Hi :) Hmmm, pen&ink or pencil is a good option for printed guides. I thought that was what margins were for?
Unfortunately it's not so easy to share or copy&paste from whereas a wiki is easy to disseminate. Since it does headings and the Table of Contents and makes the ToC clickable automatically it's not hugely difficult for readers either. Wiki's are a quick way to get a good result even if it's garbage-in. Quite often people that are new to wiki-editing find other people tidy-up their edits if they have only just plonked down unformatted content. (or made a right pigs-ear of it). As you play around with it and find odd hints&tips your formatting gets better but that doesn't necessarily improve your contents so you start hunting around for other newer people's content to help their's look nicer. So it kinda depends on new people joining in all the time or on people having more Areas of Knowledge than they can write-up quickly.

The question I would pose to you is, is the wiki designed for the ease of use for people updating the information, or for the ease of use of the people needing help? A solution for one group does not automatically make that solution the best for another group. With printed documentation, one of the perennial complaints everywhere is the difficulty in updating the data. To which I say, a lot of that is hogwash to me. I figured out a way to minimize the difficulty in updating the information close to 20 years ago. I keep waiting for various "brain trusts" to put out a document using that solution, but it seems to be more than they can handle. :-) I think I'll just keep my secret for my own use. :-) -- Ken Mac OS X 10.6.8 Firefox 13.0.1 Thunderbird 13.0.1 LibreOffice 3.5.2.2 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
