Since it was probably my suggestion of a wiki version that has caused some confusion I should mention that I also agree there should only be one 'official' version. However much of my background in online writing is based on work with http://indymedia.org and their documentation project http://docs.indymedia.org . So collaborative effort is something I believe strongly in and have seen the fruits of - but I'm digressing... > > The question now comes to which form to adopt: DocBook or Wiki? Of course wiki is unsuited to an 'official' version, but is DocBook really suited, as Gustavo wonders, to an email list users guide? I'm inclined to feel that the 'official' version should be plain ascii - after all that's what we want people to use on the list. All other forms can then be derivatives of that. Or would it work for the 'official version to be DocBook which can generate a txt file? hmmm, not sure myself Duncan
