A deb would be fantastic...were you thinking of doing it in html or<br>
using pdf? I was actually pondering the possibility of a simple GTK<br>
reader...too fancy? We could (for example) export to docbook if we could<br>
find a nice reading app...</blockquote><div><br><br>GNOME uses <a href="http://live.gnome.org/Yelp">Yelp</a> to read their manuals, I'm sure we could use that too if we'd rather. (Although I've been partial to Browsers, we can do both!)<br>
<br>DocBook works the best, as it can be easilly converted from there to a multitude of formats. <br><br>Here's my idea of the workflow:<br><ol><li>Upstream (FLOSSManuals) provides export functionality (to DocBook) and a generic make-me-a-manual script (pulls in the latest DocBook, converts to whatever format, I can write this)</li>
<li>Downstream (Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu) works out the making it a package (I'll do this for sugar + debian/ubuntu)</li></ol><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 17:19, Seth Woodworth <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:seth@laptop.org">seth@laptop.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>I agree. I think that even without any info it would still be good to<br>
have a DEB package of all of the manuals. Once the process is created,<br>
it can help bring focus to upstream/QA type work/issues.</blockquote><div><br>I assume here that it'll be a separate DEB per manual... (or group) <br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br>-lf (ffm)<br></div>
