[FM Discuss] HTML publishing in Booki?

[James Simmons]

Adam,

I'm going to try and install Booki on one of my home computers over
the weekend.  If it goes well I think this could be a valuable tool
for companies that need to create internal manuals.  Our MediaWiki
installation has not been adequate for this purpose.

If I can get Booki working here then there is reason to believe that
Booki could catch on at a lot of companies.
