unfortunately, you were a day too early. steve dumped it in there before going on holiday so that i can could read and update it (on eeebuntu) for ApacheBarCamp Oxford. i plan to take a look at sorting it out today. > Personally I think you should focus on the message of the presentation, not > the format, and try to make it available to as many people as possible. > Sadly this means PPT or PDF nowadays. in the end, binary formats are bad for collaboration since they can't be diff'd. PDF is a fine final format but i'd need to get annotations working using a FOSS editor. (if anyone clueful would like to jump in, that'd be great) may end up using forrest since this can generate S5 (my preferred slide format), PDFs and the website. this would allow a single base documentation set to be used as the starting point. - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
