We tried going with the wiki originally, but when the lead writer left it went to hell in a hand basket. People would start, then get frustrated at the lack of available mentors, learning the mwiki format and not having someone that delegates exactly what the should do next. I tried 4 different times to get it going again and finally gave up.I finally floated a proposal a few months ago to start using Writer to do all the user documentation and have it under version control. Since the project switched from Subversion to Git that is what made sense. Regards Keith
