I added now a link in a note to where to find the PDFs.
(to http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/DocumentationDevelopment)
Does this mean you added a note to one of the manuals (which)? Or did you
add the note to a README?
i found the wiki structure confusing.
I agree :-(
intuitively i will look for these manuals either in
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Manuals
or here
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/LyXHelpDocuments
Did you see the link to
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/Documentation
The link is there in sidebar, it is the header with the text
"LyX documentation"
but unfortunately I don't people understand it is also a link to a page
about LyX documentation.
If you didn't notice it, I should change this somehow.
Anyway, I'd expect to find links to the PDFs from that page, i.e.
LyX/Documentation
the joke is that one find complete 1.4 documentation here. i would
propose to somehow unite all these to some consistent state,
- i mean unity of place - only one page to be found these pdfs and unity
of version - not the mix of 1.4.5.1, 1.5.1 and 1.5.4 manuals.
Could we commit the PDFs to released branches? In other words, when
releasing e.g. 1.5.5, could we also generate a PDF using that version of
LyX and then add/commit it to the repository? If we can do this, it is
easy to link from a wiki page (or a web page) directly to these files.
in such a case i will put link from official www pages to such kind of
wiki download page.
If we decide to use a wiki page as a download page, we have to remember to
give it a password. Otherwise bad people could change the download links.
A different solution for the documentation would be to generate all the
PDFs and place them in a separate directory structure. Perhaps this could
be on the FTP-server?
