Although I like wiki's, how do you keep manuals updated with the content
in the wiki? Wikis are great for doing all sorts of things with, but I
don't know how to do a manual in wiki and keep it synchronized with an
HTML docbook style manual.
An interesting project......
The people at Wikibooks.org are likely to come up with a solution
at some point [probably long before we have a user's manual longer than 10
pages]
In the meantime. I think the advantages
outweigh this problem, as the docs need to be able to evolve quickly and have
numerous people work on them. Certainly for the developer's manual we
should move to Wiki, as it's unlikely people will be printing it
out (the main advantage of Docbook)

We have to consult with Tony Lembke too, who has done all the hard work with
gnumed.org over the past years, to see what his thoughts are.
He has certainly done a lot of excellent work on a user's site, and I'm pleased
to see it is quite up to
date. It also has an ability to add/edit documents online, but not as flexible
as a 'true' wiki, I would propose
to make the "Development" link point to the wiki (a common practice on free
software project sites)
