</div>PDFs are difficult to edit (aren't they?)<br>
Docx requires the latest version of MS Office, which some may not have<br>
or want<br>
RTFs - usable by anyone, but a pain to merge etc.<br>
<br>
What about a wiki? Could toolkits itself be used for this (i.e. an<br>
online presentation which people can edit, which shows how to install/do<br>
stuff?)<br>
