Hello, This is to let you know that over the next couple of weeks, I will be making a major reorganization of the manuals, and so request anyone wanting to make changes to the English manual to contact me first -- otherwise any changes you make risk being lost, which would be a pity.
The changes I foresee are the following: 1. Reorganization of the manual directory structure to more easily accommodate multiple languages, multiple manual versions, and multiple manuals. 2. Divide the current 900+ page manual into a number of smaller manuals. I haven't yet decided exactly how many manuals to create, but at a minimum, I expect to have the following: Installation and Configuration Catalog database (installation, configuration, maintenance) Console (all types ...) FAQ Developers' Guide (already separate) Reference manual The problem in breaking up the manual is that there is a fine balance between one gigantic manual as we currently have and too many little manuals. Where the happy median is, I am not sure, but once the process is started and I have the new file structure, it should be relatively easy to split manuals in the future if we need to. I expect to make the same changes to the German and French manuals after completing the work on the English manual. Once I start that work (probably much later), I will send another email ...
