I don't think so. The reason why more people use OpenOffice is WYSIWYG. And because you can "design" your documents easier (well, usually this shouldn't be done at all, but people like to do it ;-)
Maybe. It isn't only about writing, it is also about reading. I probably do not want to read a book done using WYSIWYG technologies ;)
Exactly this is the point - with some wiki templates, we could have fully _automatic_ conversion to XML.
This would also mean easier editing (no SVN knownledge needed, and it's nearly impossible to have syntax errors in mediawiki ;-)
We could even maintain LfL in a wiki which would mean new authors wouldn't need to learn docbook. Maybe this would also attract more authors to write for LfL...
Just compare the numbers - how many wiki editors does openSUSE have? And how many LfL editors?
Less is more. The goal is not to write as much text as possible. The goal--if I got it right--is to write a book. You surely do not want to maintain a book (200 pages and more) in a wiki. It would either end as a rather bad book or become sooner or later a nightmare to maintain. I already wee you writing "bots" to accomplish simple search-and-replace opperations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
