To add gasoline/petrol to the fire, I'll suggest something further: I think treating the PODs as the 'ground truth' documents from which all other formats are generated could be the way to go. So I suggest this:
Remove the half-completed PDL books from the wiki pages completely. They're a great attempt, but they were written with herculean effort before the days of wikis, usually based as latex documents with the included figures. The books contain tons of great information, but it can be a slog wandering through the three books and picking out where, for example, that pdim() function was defined. I'd be willing to go through the PDL books, pull out the great examples and POD ify them, so that the PODs can be wikified automatically. My only question would be how to deal with the images in the books - is there a suitable way to link the images in the POD text so that they are automatically added into wikified and html'ed pages? Just a thought.... Matt -- Matthew Kenworthy / Assistant Professor / Leiden Observatory Niels Bohrweg 2 (#463) / P.O.
