Thank you for the information, but I would like submit for your consideration that text and html would offer more opportunity for more to submit their own efforts to what will become a continuing work in progress.

Follow our discussion about formats in the Communication Team Work Forum

Text and html are the formats of the wiki (online versions), we chose also to make the finished (or nearly finished) documents available for offline use, as well, without any addition effort by the end user (seemed more end user friendly)

Hi communications.

You've probably seen this, but incase you haven't, here's a link to The XOOPS Challenge

Thought it could do with some publicity. A news article or announcement perhaps?

Hi BlueStocking

There will also be a wiki (html), but we could probably take community contributions in whatever format people were comfortable submitting in, and copy to other formats as necessary. I'll put it up for discussion.

I will also post the materials for the old docs shortly, sorry it slipped my mind.
