I took a few minutes this morning and converted the FAQ to SGML, and
committed it to ./docs/FAQ.sgml. This gives us a few advantages over the
previous stock text FAQ in the top-level directory at a maintenance level.
Now we can convert the FAQ to any format we want (as long as the DTD exists,
of course). What I originally needed it for was to dump it to HTML so I
could slap it on the website dynamically when new additions are made (i.e.
click on FAQ, faq is checked out from CVS, converted, displayed).
But now with the new design I'm working on, the FAQ can now be
easily converted to a pdb for download as well. It adds a very nice level of
customization for the users who want to download the critical parts of the
Plucker website onto their Palm.
The file is incredibly well-commented, and SGML is easier than HTML
to write, so anyone with commit access can continue to modify this file with
the stock Linux/Windows tools available (editor + docbook stylesheets).
Alright.. back to working on a useful article layout, and getting
Mike's beta drop directory viewed from the website for downloads.
If anyone has suggestions while I'm working on this new site design
(Robet has seen the "face" already), let me know. I'm trying to make it lean
and fast, but the new site is centuries more professional looking than the
current site, at the moment.
