Hi Michael !

This is great news for me !

As you might know, I have already written documentation for
VirtualBox-on-SUSE. (and submitted for SUSE 10.3 inclusion).
And a very good one.

You can read my article here: (NOTE: link will expire soon, so if you
have problem email me, and I will send you the article directly)

NOTE: Source-code - written by me in Docbook XML format is available
from Novell LfL Subversion. This is just a pre-rendered page of it.

I'm willing to participate in writing of this community documentation
with only one requirement - it will be available offline - that is:
with product installation on PCs that are *not* connected to the
Internet. Internet-online documentation does not fulfill my needs.

This is very important for me, because VBox official documentation
often describes some features poorly, and platform-specific issues are
not described at all (USB and SUSE isn't covered).

The requirement I have is for 2 reasons:
-Mobile user, who has no Internet connection at some point of time.
-Secured system, not connected to the net at all.

Let me know if you agree to publish the user documentation with the
package itself, and I will start working right now.

As for text - hmmm - ok - but I would think that it will lack graphics
and screenshots.

It is OK for start - but we should think about next step (if not yet
implement) - maybe HTML ?
