I know what you are saying. Booki is the editing platform, where we edit
books. It's not the reading platform where we read them.
I guess the confusion crept in because http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm is
still being fed from the old editing platform (and hence still has the old
URLs in).
Following form that (sorry if you have answered these questions already :)
...
* Can we publish to http://en.flossmanuals.net/civicrm from booki at the
moment?
* Agree that it is confusing to have two read only versions.
Am I right in saying that 2 is a read only version of 'trunk' and 3 is the
latest stable release. A read only version of trunk is useful when you are
editing to see what your changes will look like before publishing, but
perhaps this could be acheived by just hitting a preview / publish button
and getting a copy located in a preview-like URL, kind of like a release
candidate? So the workflow would be to go from TOC to edit without a view
stage between?
I could live without 2, but it is kind of useful. how about styling 2 so it
is obviously 'unpublished'?
