Hi I'd like to ask for some ideas/thoughts on the wiki from a documentation perspective. Or rather, I'd like some general thougths on what kind of documentation we would like for LyX, considering that we can have the documentation in several places these days.
Here are some loose ideas of types of documentation: * Documentation that comes with a LyX installation ** UserGuide.lyx etc, to be read from inside LyX ** UserGuide.lyx etc as a PDF-version (to easily allow printing) * Documentation that can be read online ** Is there a point to having an online version of the UserGuide, or perhaps to have tutorials online? ** Wiki pages? Web pages * Collaborative documentation (eg. the wiki) * The FAQ - how does it fit in (it's currently on the wiki) It'd be nice if there was a strategy for all these kinds of documentation, I'm especially interested in how the wiki could fit in with the documentation. For the record, I do not belive the wiki could ever replace eg. the user guide. Nor that a "documentation wiki" that isn't controlled by editor(s) would work. However, I hope we should be able to use the collaborative aspect of the wiki to make it easier for people to contribute to the documentation. For instance by supplying examples of how LyX can be used. Or by adding FAQ etc. /Christian -- Christian Ridderström, +46-8-768 39 44 http://www.md.kth.se/~chr
