No longer store the generated PDF/HTML in Roller SVN?

[Glen Mazza]

Hi Team, our documentation source 
(http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/weblogger-docs/) is in 
Open/Libre Office (*.odt) format.  But we apparently do check in the 
generated PDF and HTML that Open Office can export from an .ODT, for 
example here for the Template guide: 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/weblogger-docs/templateguide/.

I'd like to alleviate the burden on the Roller team needing to generate 
the PDF and HTML each time they alter the .ODT file.  The more 
burdensome you make doc updates, the fewer doc updates people will have 
time to make.  Basically, just store the .ODT file in trunk for the SVN 
downloader to read in OpenOffice--and from there, generate to PDF/HTML 
if he or she wishes.  Of course, this will require some version of Open 
Office on their machine, but most developers of the type inclined to 
check out Roller source already have that software or know how to 
quickly obtain it.

At the point of creating a new release we can distribute the PDF and 
HTML (as we do already for PDF: 
http://www.apache.org/dist/roller/roller-5/v5.0.1/docs/), but there will 
no longer be a need to have to generate and store these formats in SVN 
each time we alter the documentation pre-release.  How does that sound?

Thanks,
Glen
