Yes, of course, working in a modular way can help maintenance. If the wiki->xml conversion is complete, we could start thinking on maintaining all the content on the wiki. > One positive to this approach is, an All-In-One Guide is far more interesting > output for one's work than, for example, "How To Configure Printers" ... all > work is done with the same contribution of a printer how-to, but the result > is a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. > > One negative is that such a guide requires a quantity of contributors that > this project has yet to provide.

So, > this negative points to the potential positives. :) Yes, but I (too?) believe this will bring more contributors and translations to the team. Fedora needs something like this. Lowering the barrier to contributions (wiki?) and translations (eg have a direct download link to the po in i18n). One of the pluses will be that we can reduce the information duplication to a minimum this way, thus increasing the maintainability. >> And most importantly, it >> needs to be printable. > > See the other thread about FOP and gcjclasspath; we can help move down > this route to PDF production. Hopefully we will manage to succeed in this. I can help with the stylesheets I guess. -dim > > - Karsten -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos@xxxxxxxxxx, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."
