Hi Monty and Jeremy,
> We have been a bit reluctant to update the manual, as most of our > users are still using 3.23 and could easily be confused by this. > > I think we should wait until 4.0 goes into beta before doing the update. If I may suggest, Could we have two manuals online then? One for 4.x, and one for version 3. I think that this would avoid confusion. Furthurmore, I will volunter some time from my web staff to help maintain this (I do understand it is almost double work to have two manuals online) if that would help any. With all the great stuff (or differences) in 4.0 that is not (or different) in 3.23.xx I feel it can already be confusing! IE (Referential integrity, Replication, Cascadining Deletes, UNIONS, FULLTEXT Features, Table to table UPDATE syntax, table details, security(SSH?), etc (long list!) ). MySQL 4.0.1 is running VERY well here, but I think it may be confusing even during the beta stage to have only the beta manual online/available for download. I think both should be there. The other suggestion would be to make the online manual only the -stable manual, I know how to build the manual for 4.0 from the source, but I personally like the idea of both the alpha/beta and the stable manual being available! You guy's are doing alot of great work it would be good to have it online ASAP! Just my two cents (and web programmers if you want them) Best wishes, Ken --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
