Re: The Hurd Reference Manual - overhaul

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   Why do you not do the Hurd Reference Manual in something like a
   Wiki,

Because of the following:

* You can't read it offline

* You can't make it into a book (the FSF makes money by selling books,
  a good thing)

* You can't print it (a subset of the above)

* You can't convert it to some random file

* You can't do easy searching

* You can't grep for things (a subset of the above)

* It isn't how GNU manuals are handled.

* You can't open it in info

* You can't do big updates (think about API changes, pita with a wiki)

* Someone can screw things up and add incorrect information

... I can think of more if you want.
