if we had an easy way to automagically slurp the wiki into every
release
as cross linked HTML i'd be extatic - regardless of wether we put the
tutorial(s) in the wiki.
I'm sure this could be done without too much hassle during the
release build process, even if it had to shell out to wget or
something. I suspect there are more elegant solutions though.
Some people seem to like the notion of "official" documentation on
the site (and in the releases) seperate from "community"
documentation in
the wiki.
I'm not one of those people ... i'm just mentioning it.
I used to be one of those people, but the Solr wiki has changed my
tune on wikis dramatically. Granted editing in a <textarea> sucks
compared to TextMate, but copy/paste is how a lot of folks edit wikis
I hear.
The trouble with the wiki is that it is so dynamic that you wouldn't
have a snapshot of it for a specific release. If we could have our
cake and eat it too....
