Alternative Formats

I would recommend adopting something like -

http://www.djangobook.com/

for the documentation. This has the benefit of being a "single book" and also has user comments to assist where the writer missed something. The docs can then absorb the user comments over time and improve quite a bit.


Arcoleo,

I think that's a great format, but we will stick with Mediawiki (the wiki package used in the GMOD web site) for the Chado documentation for a couple of reasons. The main reason is that I don't want to support two formats/tools - one for Chado doc and one for everything else. Another is because we want users to be able to update the main documentation in true wiki style.

Thanks,
