Re: [Owncloud] ownCloud book
I would definitely vote for the expansion of the docu repos and then perhaps let the publisher sponsor it. They can print different pdf releases? As long as we can combine the book effort with the docu effort it's fine. Having an outdated one point in time book and a crappy docu would not make sense in my opinion. So thumbs up for expanding the docu and let the publisher sponsor it and make one time tags to be printed by the publisher? General license to be CC and perhaps have the commercial printing right for special tagged version to the sponsoring publisher Just my ideas.

Danimo recently set up a sphinx [1] based doc system that is easy and suitable for this purpose imo. For example, see https://github.com/owncloud/mirall/blob/master/doc/building.rst It displays nicely in the browser and can be converted to a big list of output format such as pdf, html, online-help and such (and still looks good)... We do some Client docs in there, but why not have server doc as well? regards, Klaas [1] http://sphinx-doc.org/ ___ Owncloud mailing list Owncloud@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/owncloud
