I think personally a wiki would be better, and then content could be taken from that and integrated into a more "official" DocBook in CVS. I heard you had tried setting up a wiki some years ago but had problems with SPAM, but surely that's a problem that can be solved? E.g. by only allowing e-mail confirmed registered users. Anything else that speaks against a wiki? It would be easier to contribute, and easier to make small fixes with less maintenance than sending patches, IMHO. > >> Best Regards >> -Scord >> >> Motorola Software Center >> [x] Public >> [ ] Internal >> [ ] Motorola Confidential Restricted > > Heh, finally a smart non threatening way to label expected recipient > for mails issued by a corporation.
