Hi, Veikko,
I think I recall Dr. H writing that he'd set up the wiki in the hope
that this would allow the user community to contribute toward excellent
documentation.
Would it perhaps be a good idea for you to take your new material and
improvements to the old, and incorporate them into the wiki? It sounds
like you have a lot of good stuff to offer.
Hi Donald,
Wiki is great if you want to contribute some quick notes or do some
drafting but as a comprehensive manual it has lots of weaknesses like
lack of structure (you can fake it but eventually it's just a collection
of pages with very little or no cohesion), versioning only per page,
inability to convert content to different formats (single page html or
pdf for off-line and printing for example) and no defined syntax.
So in my opinion it would be a better idea to take everything from the
wiki, restructure it and put it into a book.
