Cave,
admittedly, I know zero to nothing about wiki's so I was wondering
and shamelessly asking would you like to do wiki admin for LibreCAD?? :)
Essentially we need to have a place where we can create a manual that we eventually
can include into LibreCAD's help system, and we need to beable to generate a PDF
for that aswell.
For PDF generation the though was to use publican that
can also generate very nice documentation pages.
The reason why i think publican would be very nice is because w iki is not very well suitable
for documentation. At some point, wiki's tend to get messy with outdated and updated information all together.
THis is something we need to learn and figure out And my suggestion is we
create a special wiki section to make documentation for a branch of LibreCAD
For example 2.0.x and we only put the user manual into that. When we release
new versions, we can copy that to a 2.1.x version, and update it it… etc etc.
This way, we keep things nice, clear and organised.
I am open to suggestions! If you need a special account on media wiki, let
met know.
Regards,

Of course -just the Librewiki would be fine until you can set up the "media" wiki.
Yes poke,shove etc the guy again , so at least I can have an account on the Wiki you currently have, at least I could use that for now for making a start on some stuff or help out with any other documentation maybe!
