The primary purpose of documentation is to let users be able to use
Xindince. As long as people can follow the instruction, cannot speak for
others, I pay no attention to if it is a OSS browser.

Subject: Documentation: target audience


Hi all,

We are now starting to write the new documentation and I would like to share
my
opinion about what should be our the target audience.

Xindice is an Open Source software (OSS) and I think that it is our duty to
promote the Open Source mouvement whenever possible.  But how can Xindice be
of
any help?  Well, by showing how easily Xindice can run on OSS (Linux,
FreeBSD...).  Windows users won't be forgotten but they won't be the main
target.

For example, to present how to compile Xindice, I prefer to see:

   /usr/local/xml-xindice/build     [ Unix ]
   c:\xml-xindice\build.bat         [ Windows ]

rather than:

   c:\xml-xindice\build.bat         [ Windows ]
   /usr/local/xml-xindice/build     [ Unix ]

Following the same idea, screenshots and outputs should be taken from a Unix
OS
using an OSS browser of course.

Or am I too radical?

-Vladimir
