[Phpgroupware-docteam] I kill myself.

[Josh Miller]

All that, and I didn't even get myself on the list properly.

Okay so I am here now.

Okay, I agree with Brandon that he and I can keep track of both Tecnical Doc 
organization and presentation management.  As well as content.

Yes, I think we need to somehow manage the SGML setup so we can pull both 
Manual, and inlinehelp out of the same material that builds the user guides.

I am going to try and get a running draft of documentation standards on the 
web site, as we develope them here.  we will need to come up with some way 
to make final desisions whenever conflicting views come into play.

I think translations will fall inline easily.  Translations have been an 
active part of the project even if documentation efforts have been for the 
majority a dead topic the last year or so(I gather).

Seek3r has said that he will pick back up with the inline doc generator.

I would like to start working on some changes to the Manual app to read data 
straight from SGML, and then to follow that with having inline help pulled 
from similar files.  But I currently lack a server to work on with any 
degree of convience. (dual booting and shareing a PC with non Linux users) 
and I don't feel up to setting up every thing on this PC to run the code 
from windows.

So far as the documentation for manual and inline help with in apps.  I 
think it would be safe to build the manual pages copied from what manual 
pages exist.  but I think it should be up to the developer to add the inline 
as they see fit.  If done wrong it could become very, intrusive to the style 
of their application.

> From an earlier conversation with Seek3r I think we should concentrate doc 
work aimed at the .13 head branch in anticipation of having material ready 
for the .14 release.  then branch to a HEAD vs. Stable documentation branch 
to cover differences with what would be in the next release.
