What I was thinking of is _not_: - a wiki writable by users; - a CVS writable by non-devs; - a replacement for GuideXML (I like it); - a way to replace GDP (I was thinking of dev-level documentation); What I was thinking was instead: - a place where things can be drafted up before GDP submission if they want to handle dev docs, too; - a place where devs can put their own dev guides, without changing the style of the site from the one in main Gentoo site; - a place that does not require the strict belonging to a project to put guides into. I like GuideXML, so I have no problem with writing small-to-medium guides with it, RST would be fine, too, but I don't want it to be plain text or ViewCVS only, GuideXML is in style with the rest of the site and it has printable version available, and it's Googlable. ViewCVS is too "raw" for user viewing, and there might be users interested in those guides. And IIRC ciaranm said it took quite a while to render the devmanual from RST to HTML, would be difficult to sync hourly then. -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ Gentoo/ALT lead, Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, AMD64, Sound, PAM, KDE
