[FM Discuss] Bug with chapter titles

ok...so i think we might have a issue here with confusion over the 'read
only' version of the manual in the editing section
(booki.flossmanuals.net) AND the 'read' version of the manual located
here:
http://en.flossmanuals.net

as i am seeing it...we do need to resolve the issue of duplicate url
name for chapters...however, i am also considering the possibility to
turn off the 'read only' display in booki.flossmanuals.net

for example...

1. we have the edit interface for civicrm:
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/edit/

2. and then the 'read only' version:
http://booki.flossmanuals.net/civicrm/

3. and then the manual for users:
http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm


My feeling is that we have a big potential problem with people confusing
2+3 ie. thinking that option 2 *is* option 3

My feeling that this is happening is enhanced when I see some bugs being
tracked which see to also share this confusion:
http://booki-dev.flossmanuals.net/ticket/326

So...while we need to fix the duplicate url issue, i think we can also
shut down option 2 since the edit interface now also has a 'view' button
so you can read chapters without needing to edit them

i know this is a lot to digest but if anyone can follow this and comment
on it i would appreciate any thoughts on this
