Anyone considered using a Wiki/Twiki? (www.twiki.org) This allows
organic growth of documenation, with contributors able to add. I
think it can be moderated, too.

Hi Colin
Just envisaged possibility that over a period of time, a user may
need to refer to a number of
documents (click on a number of urls) on the same subject which
could be annoying.
I suppose there could be a moderator type role for certain subjects
Wonder what others think?
Regards
Ralph

Subject: RE: [sailwave] Contributions to documentation
Hi Ralph,
I didn't envisage anybody else tweaking contributed documents.
What I had
in mind was that I would convert them to PDF and upload them to
the Sailwave
web site (only I have write access) and link to them from the help
file,
with date and author etc. If the author updated it, s/he would
send me a
new copy and I would re-upload it and tweak the link details.
Even if these
contributions overlapped in theme I think that would be OK because
it's
always useful to gave N perspectives on something. Does that
sound OK?
