Hi All, First about wiki:
- Wiki is really a final/presentation format in context of Harbour. Easy to convert _to_, but very difficult to convert _from_. That makes it a target format rather than a source format. - How to convert wiki page to usable .pdf, .rtf? - "Wiki" has no standard source format. So we must also choose one specific implementation, which is usually a never ending debate. - I personally like MediaWiki format f.e., that's what wikipedia uses, too. Yet many ppl are not familiar even with this one, and the package is pretty difficult to host anyway. - Any wiki solution needs to be hosted somewhere. We had a Wiki on sf.net, but it was slow. We have a Wiki in Trac on sf.net since years: nobody uses it. Maybe we could have MediaWiki on sf.net, but results are doubtful. Not to mention our wikipedia page, which no one touches, and looks shameful. - How to distribute Wiki pages as part of Harbour source package? - If above point is somehow solved, how to easily view it? I like Wiki very much, but for Harbour doc source it's not good solution. BTW, I can't question anybody's intent, but every time we see a chance for real contribution for documentation, I see some someone accidentally popping in with a revolutionary idea (last time we got an offer to buy one for 30 something thousand dollars). The result was so far always confusion and fading interest. So, I'd like to ask prospective contributors to _ignore these_ and concentrate on our path. It has been said many times: There will only be a documentation (in any format, or medium), if someone actually writes them. There is no other way.
