I have been looking into seeing if we could use the github wiki for our "user guide"; thus far it is not 100% between the mediawiki syntax supported by github and the media syntax supported by the WikiText editors in eclipse. My preference is to hack away at these things on the eclipse side; but having a public wiki has been very helpful.
I do not want to move all the documentation to github / wiki format as that does not end up looking very good. Previous copies of the docs linked to the separate image files stored on disk; this was fine until we updated the screen snaps (as small differences in sizes depending on the version of windows used resulted in pictures looking always just a little but off). So we need a story for the screen snaps that makes a bit of sense; perhaps we can see if the quickstart docs we make of the live dvd can work on the github wiki (it does support RST after all)? -- Jody Garnett On Monday, 27 June 2011 at 9:34 PM, Frank Gasdorf wrote: > Fantastic!
