Absolutely, go for it. > > In addition, if possible, could you send me the source file of this > document? Unless you have a mac, its not going to be very helpful. I've been using Pages.app to write the PDFs. I know Docbook is all the rage with the kids these days, but while I think XML is great for machine->machine interactions like messaging and configurations, I think it stinks for writing 100+ pages of documentation :-) > For your info, I am writing Japanese version with Docbook > XML.

PDFs are great for downloading, but its also nice to have a clickable HTML version.

So I decided to migrate from V1 style to Pacemaker. If I had the chance to change one thing, it would have been to write the shell sooner.
