I'm trying to get another 2.1 release candidate ready, so I'd like to
resolve this issue.
I'm not sure we had enough folks weigh in to get consensus on this,
so I'd like
to call a vote to decide on one of these two options:
Pick one:
[ ] Option #1: For Roller 2.1 keep installation guide on wiki as
we always have
[ ] Option #2: For Roller 2.1 instead use Open Document Format
(ODF) as source format for installation guide as described below
Plan for using ODF as source format for installation guide in 2.1:
* Use Dave's new ODF version of the installation guide
* Include in release: text, HTML, PDF and ODF versions of the install
guide
* Make same formats available on the Roller web site
* Maintain the 2.1 release notes on the wiki, so we can easily update
them

We have up-to-date versions of the user guide and installation

Roller 2.1-incubating in ODF format now. We already decided to use ODF
for the user guide.
Should we have a vote on whether or not to use the ODF install guide
in the 2.1 release? If not, I'll put it back on the wiki.
I argue that:
Using ODF in 2.1 does not preclude changing to a different source
format
in the future (thanks to well-known, standard XML format and the OO
Java API).
And I think they are an improvement over the JSPWiki versions, so I
propose we:
* Ship the ODF and PDF files in the release
* Make ODF, PDF and HTML versions available on the web
* Put the release notes on the wiki, so we can easily update them
