I'm currently dealing with the following problem: I have a document I'm going to be creating that I have to distribute to a number of people, most of whom aren't particularly technically oriented and (I have to assume) aren't using Linux and aren't going to. I hate to resort to using an MS Word file, but I really see no practical alternative. (No, I'm not going to go down in flames as a Linux evangelist in this context.)
If the document were only to be printed, yes. But PDF isn't editable.
It needs to be editable? You're fscked then. :-) Even Word isn't safe to hand around Windows users in that case, and different HTML editors will make a royal hash of things. Wait for OpenOffice to come up with the goods and then campaign for wide usage. My preference in this case would be to use LyX over CVS, and while there is a Windows version of LyX I don't know if your lot would take the learning curve. -- Rachel
