think about the sort of infomration you all want to see there and start to put some
basic structure together. Far better that we have one place for all the
documentation for all the different types of users: toolkits authors, xerte
developers, open-source code contributers, template developers and so on.</span></p>

has been suggested subsequently an installation of MediaWiki might do both <a href="http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki">http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki</a>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: black;">I think there needs to be
documentation for people developing the software, and documentation for people
using the software. It could be in the same place, or in different places as
the two groups will have quite different requirements. Googlecode happened to
have a convenient wiki which is what Pat has started to use today. Sourceforge
have also just approved my project request, so now is a good time for us to
decide google code or sourceforge once and for all. I might set up a project on
soirceforge anyway adn then we can vote or something. You can see the
google code pages already. I like the simplicity a lot - it fits well with our
FWS design principles for the software itself.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"></span></p>

set up? That (or something similar) should probably host the bulk of the user
docs, and be the one place for info on using Xerte in its various forms. I
would love it if someone were to step forward and take on managing that space.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"></span></p>
