Any of these are fine with me; I tend to lean towards "edit the pages directly and re-factor them" but I can see reasons to prefer the others as well. Perhaps building a new clean documentation set in a separate (and temporary) PmWikiCreole group is preferable for now, and then when we like what we have there we could move it all en-masse back to the PmWiki group. But we should also consider that some sites may be linking to existing documentation pages... which perhaps argues for doing things "in place" so that existing targets continue to have something reasonable (even if it's just a redirect to a new refactored version of the page). As with the i18n pages, I think my feeling on this is that whoever ends up doing the work gets the greatest say in how the work should be structured. :-) Pm _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
