Pierre,

first let me thank for your intention to contribute in LibreCAD documentation.

The problem in past and in future is, to keep things synced. So our aim is to use the wiki as base for collecting and editing information and use wiki tools to generate documents for printing or F1 help inside LibreCAD. This is the only way that makes sense to get most value of the editors efforts and keep the documentation roughly up to date with code development.
That means the wiki administration must offer the tools to create these documents, that changes in wiki articles can easy slip into corresponding documents.

Therefore we prepare a move from our current wiki software MediaWiki to DokuWiki, which should make work easier for administrators, contributors, translators and export of several formats of documentation.

So before you put too much effort in your work, please coordinate your steps here to see if they match with our wiki plans.
