Yep, I didn't mean it seriously -- hence the smiley
after the suggestion. (Although...I'm not super
familiar with it, but doesn't this Draco.NET thing do
cvs polling?)

Let's chuck my original put-docs-in-source-control
suggestion; it's a red herring. I just think that the
core of the documentation (the task reference) should
match the current snapshot and be somehow available.
If auto-putting it into the nightly snap isn't viable,
then figuring out a way to make all the docs of the
current snap somehow generally available without
having to download source and do a build is the
desired outcome. (I agree that doing a release would
be the optimum solution, but in the absence of that,
it seems like there should be a way to get interim
docs on the version that's being worked on. Right?)

We're absolutely in agreement that making it easy to
contribute is a valuable goal. Last night I (a CVS
novice) was able to fairly quickly use CVS to suck
down the current source and HTML docs. I made a pass
through all of them, correcting spelling mistakes and
adding content here and there using my tool of choice
(which happens to be Dreamweaver, but could have been
anything). It took an hour, I didn't have to learn
anything new and as a result it was easy. (Although at
this point, I have no idea what to do with the product
of my work.)
